I had my second laser session 15 days ago on a sizable leg piece. I wound up in urgent care on Sunday for this absolutely intense itching, I couldn’t sleep. Two questions for the MD’s out there: 1) how long does this itching normally last in patients? The best hope the internet gives me is that the total healing process could last ~3 weeks. The itching keeps me awake at night so any hope that it will reside soon is more than welcome. 2) photos attached - did this tech overdo it? I want to call and notify the doctor that her tech burned me in two places, but not without being absolutely sure.
