Can IPL cause Hemorrhage of capillaries? (Photo)

December 29, 2018
Asked By:glsponchos in Corona, CA

I had an IPL laser treatment 2 days ago.I had a few tiny little broken capillaries around my nose. when the NP hit them, they basically exploded immediately, causing 80% of my nose to turn black. I am terrified. NP said she had never seen that happen before. she said "maybe it will go away in a few weeks to a month". I look awful and I'm scared to death. What can I do? Should I be worried?
