So I did a laser hair removal session 3 days ago on my legs. A few hours after the treatment I noticed these purple spots on my legs which kinda look like bruises. I also found some red spots which I know their existence is somehow normal after the treatment, but I know they should usually go away within the first 48 hours and they still are here. These purple spots and also the red spots are starting to scare me. Why has something like this happened? Will they fade away? How long will it take?

Laser hair removal is safe if done with an expert. It can be done on most skin types. You need to consider your pain tolerance. Laser treatment does not feel excellent and you are considering multiple at once. You cannot have Lidocaine applied to all these areas. Please make sure you can stop...
This should not be a problem. I recommend getting the facial 24 hours before or after laser hair removal treatment. If you have any concerns I suggest contacting your treating physician.
