I broke a large capillary post-BBL Forever Young. Will it naturally repair itself or should I go back to the doctor to zap it?

Asked By:fiestaforever in Seattle, WA

A few hours post-Sciton BBL Forever Young treatment yesterday, I made the mistake of using an extractor on a clogged pore. Didn't think I had caused any damage but awoke this morning to discover that I damaged a capillary, as there's a large broken blood vessel right where I pressed with the extractor. Will it dissipate on its own in a few days or will I need to go back and have that area zapped again? So mad at myself. Lesson learned!
