I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Keep in mind, it will take a series of treatments with laser hair removal. Best, Dr. Emer
Thanks for your question. Blistering can happen if you were burned during the LHR, but they would only be in the treated area. Typically, the marks would be round or square in the shape of the handpiece. Alternatively, this looks like an HSV outbreak that may have been triggered by the LHR treatment. If that is the case, you should probably take acyclovir prophylactically prior to your next treatment. It also works well post breakout to sooth the symptoms. Best of luck.
it is hard to tell from the picture. if the blister is where the lasering was done, it is possible that the same area was lnadvertantly lasered more than once and you have a small burn blister. this will go away in a few days. you can apply a topical antibiotic cream a few times per day.As Dr. Riehm suggested below, if it is a small blister, often with clear fluid, especially if it was on a spot that was not lasered, it may be a HSV blister adn acyclovir may speed up its resolution. also this means you should start antivirals a day before your future laser sessions. david berman md

The beauty of laser hair removal is that it targets only the individual hair follicles, leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. Outside of hair removal, laser treatments are commonly used to help a number of skin-related issues, such as erasing fine wrinkles, smoothing acne scars and...
Lasers need pigment to effectively target. If you have light skin and light hair, laser will no the able to differentiate what to treat and therefore will not work. Unfortunately for light hair your only option is to consider electrolysis. Hope this helps. Best. Dr.Avaliani
Based on your skin type, you should seek out a laser vs. IPL to help avoid complications. Almost all newer lasers are safe for all skin types and have features built in (such as sapphire cooling tips) to make them more comfortable. Some of the newer technology is also more efficient, all...
Thanks for your question and posting a picture. You were burned. You should follow up with the supervising physician where the treatment took place. We test spot darker skin type patients with 1-2 pulses someplace that won't show. After you are healed, you need to find a differently plac...
