Burns & Blisters from Laser Hair Removal

5 days ago I received laser hair removal treatment. Within the last 24 hours water blisters have begun to form and are very uncomfortable. Should I pop to blisters to relieve some of the pressure? Also, do you think that I will have permanent scarring and hyper-pigmentation from the treatment? Do you have any suggestions to help prevent permanent effects? Thanks!

A: Hair Reduction

All blister healing advice previously was correct, the only other thing I would note is to be sure to let the office know what significant burns you had, this is not a "normal" result of laser hair removal if done correctly.  It looks like the settings were not correct for your skin type/tone.  Only go to trained physicians for any laser treatment.

Does Missing a Session of Laser Hair Removal Mean I Have to Start From the Beginning?

I had 2 sessions with the ndyag laser for bikini area and i usually go every 12 weeks but had to travel a couple of weeks. its been 16 weeks now and i noticed that all the hair came back with the same density. Does that mean i have to start from the beginning?

A: hair removal

Laser hair reduction treatments should be done at intervals of 4 weeks, due to the growth cycle of the hair follicle, the laser only damages the follicle when it is in its "growth" Stage.  You do not have to start treatments over necessarily but I would start spacing them at 4 week intervals for best results.
