I would expect skin that is stretched in the short term to return to its original state. It may take a while. Just don't stretch it again, other than with erections. I am unaware of any treatments that are worthwhile for your situation. I certainly do not think that you should use the lights that you mentioned. The long term effects are not known and, as you commented above, you do not want to make things worse.
When we become concerned with an area in our body, we start to notice EVERYTHING and compare it in our memory to some previous time. There is often some distortion in our mind as to what things were like in the past (when we were less observant.). Please keep this in mind when you examine your penis in the future.

A related discussion,
penis was started.
The thing is the severity of the stretching and looseness will not let me have any form of intercourse then. The skin is too thin or tender to even think about penetration of any kind. And trust me I am not ready to rush into any surgery just want to know as much information as possible. Like what complications could arise ? Again just wanting to know as much as possible and not ready to rush into any form or surgery.
You need to calm down and give your body a chance to recover. It may be that you will have to live with imperfection, as we all do. Surgery on your penis would involve simply tailoring the skin but runs the risk of complications. Remember that surgery leaves scars.

How do you think the surgery would go ? What would they do ? basically How would surgery re tighten the skinaround the shaft ?
I do not know how your penile skin will ultimately appear and feel. I do know that the best treatment for your stretched skin is not to traumatize it further now. There is nothing lost, physically in waiting several months (maybe 6 ) and then reevaluating the whole situation.
Surgery to tighten the skin would end up being cosmetic, but doable if you so desire. My guess is that you will not easily find a urologist willing to do it, however.

Have you heard of reduction of the penile skin before ? The skin now is very pink and tender and when it sits for hours just wrinkled up it seems to get more tender and tender. With time will the skin re-harden so to speak ? Because the areas where the new stretched skin were created are so tender and soft and it just seems to be getting more wrinkled and soft and tender as the days go on.
I hear your frustration and anxiety. I suggest that you give your problem time to resolve itself. By pursuing treatment now with a modality (light) that damages a deep layer of skin my lead to problems later that cannot be readily treated. Worse cast scenario, you could have surgical reduction of your penile skin in the future.

I understand the whole thing about when we become concerned about an anera of our body we notice everything. But this was a complete transformation. If nothing happend or even if it was minor I would not care at all. But to see all my skin scrunched up above my circumcistion line. To see when I sit down to go to the bathroom all my skin wrinkle up into 1 inch it is hard not to notice. When you watch one thing become another it is hard not to notice. I want to hope that the skin will go back but I just don't see time helping this. My skin is so tender,soft,pulled,stretched,loose. I mean how does skin just re-tighten around my shaft ? How will it become firm again ? I just don't see it happening
