Indentation from V Beam?

kjrizApr 23, 2016
I've had vbeam treatments for 2 years to treat rosacea redness with great results. Ive done about 5 per year. I'm 3 week post recent treatment and have noticed an indentation on one cheek. It's definitely new and seems to be getting more prominent each day. About the size of an eraser tip. Could this be damage from the laser? What other possibilities?

It is alright to have self tanner after the V-Beam but not before.  If you have self tanner before the V-Beam the laser could perceive it as pigmentation and burn you.  Please consult an expert.  Best, Dr. Green
