Why Didn't my Pulsed Dye Laser Treatment (For Blood Vessels) Work the First Time?

xrdh
I was told in the consultation that mine was not a severe case and that she could remove most all of the blood vessels from my cheeks and chin, as well as lighten a little patch of the "mask of pregnancy" in the initial treatment, with the possibility of needing a second treatment for a touch up. After the swelling and redness went away, I still have all of the vessels on my chin and nose, all of the mask of pregnancy, and more than half of the vessels on my cheeks. What could have happened?
