When getting laser treatments, know that you should experience redness (depends on the coarseness of hair as to how red and for how long--could be days), swollen pores (many times mistaken as "blisters" when it is really a swelling of an affected pore) and the smell of burnt hair or see black dots of effectively treated hair. These are all NORMAL. Cool your skin after treatment like you would a sunburn. UNWANTED signs of treatment would be crusting (looking like touching a hot frying pan or oven rack with brown dry skin--treat with neosporin until it disappears for less after effects), water-filled blisters, grey or peeling skin. Sometimes, after treatment, one will appear to have acne breakout which is really a released sebum sac that is no longer needed to nourish the now-dead hair. For resolution, use a wet or dry washcloth to gently exfoliate the skin and to help pull out the shedding hair.
