I had pixel laser treatment 2.5 days ago and I look like a leopard. Is this normal to be so blochy, I am only slightly red but with very brown blochy spots with redish undertones. If this is normal how long will this last?

A leopard is ok...rhinocerous is bad. I confer with my colleagues below. It is normal initially to have some blotchiness. It will subside.

Both redness and brown discoloration shortly after Pixel treatment are common developments.  I often share with patients that redness lasts 3-5 days on average and brown splotchy spots can last a few days longer.  In addition, patients often experience peeling up to 10 days post procedure.

What you are describing is very common and will last about 5 days.  After this you will have a slight pink appearance to the treated area.
