Do some people not have bruising from Pulse laser dye treatment?? If so, why not?

August 3, 2014
Asked By:ladewes in Silver Spring, MD

I had a Pulse Laser Dye treatment that lasted 10 mins. for redness associated with a scar on my nose from MOH's surgery one year ago. The derm stated I would be bruised and all the literature and these Q's and A's indicate that brusing should occur. I had no bruising. Should I assume the Derm didn't do the procedure correctly or had the wrong setting that accomplished nothing?
