Can a laser treatment for bruising 4 days after injection cause Radiesse to form hard lumps in the skin?

Snufflegas
I had my 1st Radiesse injection in marionette lines and I bruised badly. 4 days after the injection I had a Dr. recommended laser to help bruising heal. I developed lumps and discoloration. Waited a couple weeks and then went back. Dr. said the Radiesse was "doing what it should do" and to wait another 2 weeks. I asked her if the laser could have caused a problem and she said she didn't know. Its now been 9 weeks and the lumps and discoloration is still there and the marionette lines actually look worse.
