The blisters broke and opened up. The technician that did the lazer therapy took me into a room looked at my legs and said I looked normal. I was in a great deal of pain and did not like the red area around the sores. Finally after another week and not getting better, I called in and said I needed antibiotics. I am into the 24th day and still feeling discomfort. I have deep scabs and redness around some areas. Can you tell me if I am exeriencing a normal reaction or if something went wrong?

Answer: Consider fat grafting instead of Laser for skin rejuvenation Laser vaporizes tissue then relies on the body to heal and repair the tissue with scarring and some regeneration. Fat grafting does not destroy any tissue and the stem cells in the fat actually rebuild and restore your skin. The video below explains some of this and shows what can be achieved with fat grafting. I gave up laser some time ago precisely because of cases like yours.

Answer: Blisters are NOT Normal after Laser Treatments Your experience is not normal. Blisters are not a desired clinical endpoint for any of the laser treatments we provide and we have done 75,000 of them over the past 5 years with 10 different lasers. If your legs were being treated it's possible you were getting hair removal, spider veins or even brown spots. None of these conditions would normally result in the kind of trauma and infection you are describing. What is just as concerning is the cavalier attitude of the "technician" you describe. Class IV medical lasers are legally only for use by physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners and physician assistants in the state of California. Did the "technician" that performed the treatment have one of those licenses? If not, you should be considering legal action, given the nature of your condition and the attitude of the person that saw you.
