9 days ago I had pulse dye laser on a small port wine stain . I bruised terribly . They said use a heavy moisturizer . I did but also have been using vinegar rinsesive been taking great care of it .There is now a dent on my chin from the laser.Is this a normal process after PDL? I went to Derm 2 days ago to ask if this was normal and she said yes and said it looked fine.yet I feel concerned about the "pit"(on my right side) and the way it looks .will I scar ?What will fox the dent ? Thank you !

Answer: Recovery after pulsed dye laser I do not know the details of the pulsed dye laser treatment to your port wine stain, but your recovery does not appear normal. The worst that should occur would be some discoloration appearing like bruising. The skin should not be damaged as it appears yours has been. You need treatment tailored to the burned area. I would consider getting another opinion from another dermatologist or a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon.

Answer: Hyperpigmentation after PDL related injury heals Aggressive settings caused this to occur.It is more likely to get hyperpigmentation than hypopigmentatioon after pulsed dye lasers.
