Thanks for your question and the photo and sorry that you are having this concern after your laser hair removal procedures.  I would recommend that you have a consultation with a board certified dermatologist and see why this might be happening.  What products are you putting on your face after the procedures?  The derm can determine what is going on and determine an appropriate treatment plan for you to minimize this and to make things better. Find a derm and get things taken care of.

Thank you for your question. I recommend having a follow up with your physician to have this evaluated. He/she will probably want to treat this with Retin A and topical antibiotics. Best of Luck!
