Bruising after Purpura laser treatment (Photos)

March 18, 2017
Asked By:abateson in Calgary, AB

I had Pulse dye laser at bruising setting to help with blood vessels and rosacea on Monday. It is now Saturday. So five days later I still have bruising that has barely faded in this time. I'm also having yellowing around the bruise by my eye. Is this normal? I have been using vitamin K cream and arinica. Should I be concerned with this?
