idontknowanymore101
three months ago i got ipl laser done on my legs and when the lady did the back of my legs she changed the setting too high and ending up burning my legs, leaving me sith left over hyperpigmentation and brown spots from the scars, i was wondering if it's possible to get them lasered in order to lighten them and what type of laser i should use? as well as how long will this take to fade. i'm so upset i can't do anything with my legs like this and i haven't told anyone this happened. been sufferin
