6 Days Post Second Vbeam. Purple to Red but Aren't Fading?

December 20, 2012
Asked By:newburystreet in Boston, Mass

Purple marks have turned to bright red but aren't fading. Help! The First time I had this done, my skin rebounded beautifully and from the moment I stepped out of the office I knew my skin was responding well to the treatment. This time, I'm really worried. It feels like my skin is not healing properly. Is it normal to be not fading much after 6 days? If settings were too aggressive, will my skin eventually return to normal? Makeup isn't even helping hide the marks!
