Thank you for your question.  It is likely, this is nothing to worry about and they will fade.  It could potentially be a burn or hidden vessels that you did not see previously nevertheless it should resolve and if it doesn't your board certified Dermatologist should be able to treat them.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias

It may take 2-4 weeks to see the final results following laser treatment of broken capillaries. There is no medical treatments proven to reduce the period of recovery. Arnica Gel and oral supplements are thought to improve recovery from procedures that result in blood leaking under the skin. Ultimately you may need more treatments to fully clear up the areas of concern.
