Can a laser treatment cause the blood to coagulate under the skin?

November 2, 2018
Asked By:rshemtoub in Brentwood, CA

I have rosacea on the side of my nose. I had a laser treatment to remove the veins. The first 2 times I did the laser treatment, I had no problems. The last time I did it, my skin burned and scabbed over, now under my skin looks black. It's been 10 days and no improvement on the discoloration. I have fair skin. What can I do? Could this be blood coagulation under my skin?

James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO says:

Thank you for sharing your question. If full ablative mode is used with several passes of the laser, the tissue improves over 3-4 months. I prefer waiting to see the final results before performing additional treatment. With more mild treatments, a month apart would be fine. I hope this helps...
