Red scarring and indents caused by V Beam laser! What are they? Are they scars? (photos)

Question

Can they heal in time? Had vbeam done twice, once in june and once in october. He said the settings were moderate, 7 whatever you call it, "joules"? Well anyways I'm left with red marks that are slightly indented. I'll share some pics this time! I threw in some before pics as well.

It is not uncommon, depending on the settings of the V-beam used, to have redness and even bruising post-procedure. Bruising can be quite common after this laser and your doctor will warn you about that if he uses certain settings on the laser that make it more likely. It is too early to scar from the laser since you only had it done 9 hours ago. The redness, sensitivity, and minor bruising are most likely the result of the laser being done so recently. If you are worried, make sure to see your dermatologist and express your concerns to him/her.
