I was burned two weeks ago via laser hair removal. First and second degree burns on my legs. I was so scared of being permently scarred but I've been using young living lavender oil 3 drops on my burns a few times a day. In a spray bottle 100% aloe vera gel and 10 drops lavender essential oil. Spray on burns several times a day. Put the gel from aloe vera plant on burns and rub in several times a day. Its working amazingly well.

Awww, so sorry to hear you were burned by the laser, did you follow up to see if they had the wrong setting, or what went wrong? I have never heard of living lavender oil - glad your natural home remedies are helping with the burns.

Young living is an essential oil company that makes quality essential oil. The lavender and aloe plant seem to have healed burns completely!

I am so sorry you got burned! You want to make sure you keep the skin out of the sun I cannot tell you how important this is to prevent any long-lasting marks. Make sure you leave the scabs alone and let them fall off, do not pick them. You will most likely get itchy as your healing process progresses. Try your best not to itch and maybe try some hydrocortisone or Benadryl. I have been performing laser hair removal treatments for 10 years and I have seen some pretty bad burns. In my experience the marking that can last after a laser burn is not permanent. You may want to use a product containing an ingredient called hydroquinone if your skin stays a little darker in the areas you were burned. Of course, you want to make sure you're completely healed before you try anything. I'm glad the lavender has helped. I actually had a client tell me the other day that she used it right after treatment and it took away her soreness. Everything will be fine just stay out of the sun and if you do decide to have another laser treatment insist they perform a test spot on a small area to ensure the safety of their settings.
