What to do with bruised skin after Pulse Dye Laser?
I just had Pulse Dye Laser to remove some spider veins on my chin and around my nose. I have considerable bruising; it has gone from bright purple to a red-purple.

Try Arnica montana at the health food store, I also had laser treatment for spider veins on my legs and now I have alot of bruises. I looked like I was beat up at first, but since I have been using Arnica tablets and gel I look like I am healing after a few days. Also you could try a cover up cream. Good luck.
