Fraxel laser left blisters on my arm. Is this normal? (Photo)

jake327Jun 15, 2018
I got my left and right arm treated with fraxel yesterday for self harm scars. My right arm seems to have multiple blisteres. The blisters are filled with a clear / yellow liquid. Is this normal? My left arm looks fine, so I don’t know what happened to my right arm.
