I went to a laser hair removal treatment on a June 23 and received 2nd degree burns from that treatment. After months of applying aloe vera and vitamin E to the wounds, I now have scarring on my stomach and bikini area. It is very unslightly and I've tried to use Mederma PM and what I was told was 8% hydroquinone cream to fade the scars with little result. I hope to confidently wear a bikini in the future, but I'm not hopeful.
I had my 5th session of laser hair removal last week and the technician used a different laser on me and it burned my skin. I went to my dermatologist and was prescribed silver sulfadiazine and have to apply it twice a day. My burns have started to peel and have left a mark. I am afraid that these marks will eventually scar. I am currently moisturizing them with as much as I can with aquaphor, neosporin and vitamin e gel capsules. Please advise, I don't want scars or hyperpigmentation
I used to go to laser over 1 year.I got burned 5days ago.I attached a pic of leg on 1st day and its pic and also belly on 5th day.1st two days I used Vitamin E and Polysporin Antibiotic Creams.On 3th day I started using only Avene Repair Cream 2X a day(doctor's prescription)and taking shower once a day(using unscented Dove soap).I ordered a Biafin Emulsione online.Is Biafin better to remove scars than Avene?Should I take shower every day?Do scars remain permanently(under arm,full bikini,..)?
