From: Lucy Noland offers tip for others to avoid the same pain.
11 News anchor Lucy Noland wanted to share her personal experience so that others can avoid getting burned.
A few weeks ago, I went in to get some freckles removed.

“It’s extremely important to make sure that the person or persons who are actually treating you have been appropriately trained, have appropriate experience in using lasers,” said Dr. Wolf.
i had hair removal done on my face with laser but got burned leaving dark black stripe marks all over me face is there any cure so embarassing
I had the treatment today, wish I had read this first, I now have massive bruises on my face.
Actually I would have ignored these warning if I am honest as I have been very lucky and have never suffered any negative reaction.
I will be more careful in the future though. I hope the damage is not permanent.
