SOS: laser hair removal burns on legs - 2 weeks later. Please help! Terrified of scarring! Advice? (Photo)

redgreenapples
2 weeks ago, I had laser hair removal on my legs. The next day, I noticed burns on my legs. I'm concerned because they don't seem to get getting better. I visited my doctor and she prescribed Cicaplast but that too, doesn't seem to be helping. I'm honestly so devastated because I'm terrified my legs will be scarred. Would appreciate a prognosis / advice / etc immensely! Thank you in advance!
