I got one treatment of pulsed dye laser 10 days ago to remove freckles and red capillaries. I got swelling and redness.

My skin texture started to change to bumpy, tight, fine lines and crepey.My nose now has a shallow indent which is the same size and shape of the laser. My pores are also larger and I have small pits on my nose. The crust fell off but the skin underneath it is bright red. My dermatologist said that this is normal and she guarantees it will get better. I don't know whether it will get better or if it will stay like this. Any advice that doesn't include getting more lasers?
