Laser Hair Removal: Day-after red marks and bumps. Is this something to be concerned about? Will they eventually go away?(Photo)

August 7, 2014
Asked By:o.nieves10 in Covina, CA

Yesterday I had laser hair removal done at Stewart Medical Group in Alhambra, CA. I had them perform the LIGHTSHEER procedure on my upper arms and chest. On my chest, these round red marks have appeared all over. (see photo). Is this something to be concerned about? Are these going to scab/scar or will they eventually go away? Keep in mind, I have been applying Aquaphor and Aloe gel to the affected areas. Thank you so much.
