Is Severe Redness and Bruising Normal After Med Lite Freckle Removal on Second Day? (photo)

I had laser treatment for my freckles with Med Lit technology. Today on the second day all the areas treated are severely red and some look bruised but feel like normal skin! Is this normal? When will the bruises go away? The doctor gave me a cream called Avene and said to use it three times a day for 10 days. Im afraid the redness and bruising will become permanent!
