Laser treatment for veins around nose?

Question

3 days ago I got laser treatment for veins around my nostrils. I believe my dermatologist used a machine called Regenlite Transform. Immediately after the procedure I started bruising really bad around the treated area. Today I developed what looks like two blisters on my right nostril, and they popped as soon as I touched them gently with a tissue paper. My left nostril looks ok. I feel like my nostril is burned, and it's very sore. is this normal? Should I be worried?

It appears from the photos that this treatment
did indeed produce a blister. It is very important that you call your doctor about this reaction so that he or she can properly take care of you. Likewise, it is important that the practitioner use lasers very knowingly to ensure that the best results can be achieved.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is not normal and appears like you have a small burn from the laser. I would suggest consulting with your dermatologist for appropriate wound care and healing. Once healed, assess the area for further skin care and lasers. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.  It does appear to be a slight burn, please follow up with your treating Dermatologist for further evaluation and management.  They are likely to prescribe a topical product to expedite the healing from the burn and promote normal tissue healing.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias
