A member asked:
I did a laser treatment test on a small spot, to see my reaction to it. 1 day has passed and the spot is all brown for some reason, what's going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laser for what??: Lasers work by ablating ("burning") tissue. The 'brown spot' is likely a burn/scab. Talk to your doc to rule out other possibilities.
