Burned by V Beam pulse dye laser! What is your advice? (Photo)

September 6, 2015
Asked By:scenicdriver in Iowa City, IA

There are two areas that look especially charred on my right cheek under the eye. I had very tiny capillaries so that I'm shocked to have had this done to me. Moreover, the U of I dermatologist who did this actually handed the laser to a resident whom I though was only to observe, and this is the result. this burned area is surely going to scar, correct? What is your advice?
