I had laser treatment to remove broken capillaries around my nose. One on the tip of my nose where a rather large blister formed and popped leaving a red mark. It has been more than 6 weeks and though the blister has somewhat healed it has left a small mark and the tiny broken capillary is a darker red making it quite prominent against the rest of the light skin.
