Blisters, Scabs and Now Brown Spots After Laser Vein Removal on Face. Help!

Ladybug2000
Had a Cutera CoolGlide laser vein removal treatment on my face around nose and on cheeks a month ago. A day after the treatment I got several round blisters and then scabs. On advice of the technician I treated with an Avene Cicalfate cream and aquaphor. I used SPF religiously? The lesions have now flaked off and are no longer raised but I am now left with round brown spots where th laser was fired. Will this go away? It looks like the brown spots are under the skin where the blisters were
