i just had my first laser hair removal session 2 days ago and i have now notice yellow blotches on my skin. at first i thought they were bruises but when i press down on them i feel no pain. What can i do to get rid of this? can it be treated? should i continue laser hair removal? i have got it done at quite a well known place, one of the best in my area and it was not done by IPL so i really hope this is not permanent.
