Nervous about permanent damage from IPL laser for broken capillaries. (photo)

Pineygirl13
5 days ago I had a laser treatment to remove broken capillaries and spider veins from my nose. The laser did a great job on the spider veins. They're gone and minimal redness, however the broken capillaries are still very red, purple and appear bruised. They seem worse. I don't see any improvement. Could the laser have made them worse? Or do I still need to give it some more time?
