Normal type of bruising can occur with V beam settings for broken capillaries. This will resolved in approximately 7-10 days. You are able to use make up over your bruising without concern that it will interfere with results.

Mark M. Youssef, MD · Answer

It looks a normal reaction after a broken capillary treatment, particularly with the V-Beam laser. We use the ND Yag laser for treatment of the broken capillaries as there tends to be less bruising. You can use topical Arnica Gel and take Arnica tablets 3 times a day to help reduce the bruising. Vitamin K supplements may also help.
