Is it normal for my skin to be this blotchy after hair laser removal? (photo)

Asked By:moonchild92 in New York, NY

Being super pale and extremely hairy (dark coarse hair EVERYWHERE) I always flirted with the idea of hair laser removal. 5 consultations later, I had finally saved up enough money and mustered up the courage to follow through. I decided to start with my legs. Immediately after, my skin felt raw and was SUPER red and blotchy. Fast forward 2 weeks later, the redness is gone but I am still very much blotchy! Help! Is this normal? But most importantly, will this blotchyness ever go away?
