I just had my first laser hair removal session yesterday with the nd yag laser. Immediately after I broke out in what looked like hives and felt itchy, which I've heard is a normal reaction that can happen to some people. On my legs though the hives went away within 10 mins and didn't leave a trace, but on my arms it took about an hour to settle down, and now I'm left with these marks. Is this hyperpigmentation? What can I do to get rid of it and should I continue with my treatments?
