Question

Is peeling skin and burning after Affirm laser treatment normal?

I have peeling and burnt skin on day 3 of post affirm laser treatment and am not sure if this is normal. I have had previous treatments by a different doctor and this was recommed after 4 months as a follow up.

I have never experienced peeling before and want to know if this is going to leave my skin with scars?
