These bubbles formed under my skin after vbeam laser, now there is an indent in my raised scar. What should I do? (Photo)

Question

I received vbeam laser treatment about a week ago (for treatment of raised scars caused by acne), and after the treatment these bubbles formed under my skin where I was lasered (i was lasered on my chest & jawline; there's still some bruising). The bubbles seemed to be filled with a water-like substance. The bubbles then turned into these blister-like lesions, and one that formed right in the center of one of my raised scars (on my jawline) seemed to turn into an indentation (see picture).

From
 your photo, it appears that you were burned by the Vbeam laser. Vbeam 
laser treatments are usually very
safe with very little risk of scarring. Please follow up with the office
 that performed the treatment immediately so they can help heal these 
burns.

I find that the VBEAM is an extremely safe laser. Unfortunately you have been burned and blistered. I like Biafene to aid in the healing. You must discuss this with your doctor. My guess is a tech did this. I do all the laser procedures at my office and suggest to everyone that you go to an office where an MD uses the lasers.
