Asked By:Melissa_Elizabeth in Toronto, ON

Hi there, I got laser done three months ago and I don’t know if this is normal healing or not. I have large patches of raised skin, and the majority of my skin is not healed yet. It’s been three months and I read typical healing takes 10-14 days. I’m really really scared this is permanent and I ended up worse than before. Thanks in advance.
