Has Laser for Facial Thread Veins Scarred my Face? (photo)

samlouise1985
4 weeks ago i had laser treatment for a tiny cluster of broken capillaries on my cheek. Very small but was a noticeable red splodge! They explained that the area would blister then scab so it would need healing time. The area blistered immediately, went down in a few days and began to scab over. I did not pick and 2 weeks later the scab shed on its own. However, i am so upset because although i can not see any veins, the area is red and very indented! Its like a big scar! Is this permanent?
