Are these burns or bruises after laser lipo in arms? (Photo)

December 27, 2014
Asked By:Bettyfly in Europe

I am 12 days post op laser lipo in upper arms and BBL abroad. My arms had red bruising from the laser in the beginning. I wear compression for both my arms and have not looked much at them the last days. I showered today at my own, and got panic when I saw the scars on my arms. Are this bruising or BURNS? Will they fade away, or stay discolored? Is there some treatment they should have? I will travel back to my home country tomorrow. Do I need to se a doctor? Please help!
