Could my at home, Tria Laser hair remover be the cause of numbness and blurred vision? What should I do about it?

Asked By:EmSlocombe in Freising, 02

Yesterday I was carrying out my 5th laser hair treatment on my sideburns which seemed fine until later when I noticed blurred vision in my right eye and numbness between my eye socket and upper lip on that side. Is it possible that the laser damaged a nerve pathway? Will this likely heal or should I see a doctor? (I broke a bone in my eye socket 3 years ago and experienced slight numbness since then however this is defiantly worse and includes the blurred vision) Thanks for your help
