Purplish spots on my legs after laser hair removal. Why has it happened? Will the spots fade away? (photo)

This looks like a normal inflammatory response after your laser hair removal treatment. If you're concerned, I recommend contacting your Dr for an anti-inflammatory cream. Best, Dr. Emer

From the photos it looks like you are having an inflammatory reaction from the laser hair treatment. This reaction is normal and can last up to one week after treat. I would have your treating physician take a look at it of you have any concerns.

From the photos, it appears you may be having an expected inflammatory response to the treatment. However, if you have any concerns, you should speak with your physician so that they can help determine if anything further needs to be done. The treated areas typically can exhibit these types of changes for the first week afterwards, but your physician can quickly set your mind at ease or offer additional recommendations.

Dear negnegk:

  Any vessels, even tiny ones, in the treatment area, will become red or a little bruised and go away with laser hair removal. This is a nice side benefit for most of us but if you don't like it you can ask your physician to avoid vessels with your next treatment.

I do hope you are having this treatment at a physician's office, if you are hoping for safe and permanent removal of hairs. To find out why, see the link below.   All the best,   Dr. Clark

This appears to be lifted pigment. It should definitely fade within a month if it is lifted pigment.

It appears from the photo that you have a sensitivity or inflammatory reaction from the laser hair treatment.  I would confer with your treating physician for the best topical treatment.  Best, Dr. Green
