Are these bruises normal 2 weeks after laser hair removal? (Photo)

Question

Ive got this pale purpura like bruises on my leg 2 weeks after a hair removal laser , can it be for laser? Is it normal or should i worry about leukemia or something? Ive gotten slight normal bruises on leg a few times before for no reason

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

If your hair removal treatment occurred two weeks ago, I would have expected the bruises to show up within a few days of the session.  Because you indicate that similar bruises on your legs have occurred several times in the past for no obvious reason, I would contact your hair-removal professional and ask if others are experiencing the same side effects.  If not, you might want to schedule an appointment with your PCP.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Thanks for reaching out.  It's a great question, but it is hard to tell where these discolored marks came from.  If you are worried about them, please contact the office that performed your procedure and schedule a follow up. Best of luck!
