It usually was just red spots which would be gone within a week. But now the technician used another type of laser as she said my hairs have become thinner and lighter in color. When i left the clinic, it was very painful and felt really hot. However now, it's not painful at all even if i touch it, it's just like a mark bluish black with a little red. is this blood clot?
