A member asked:

Had laser treatment for a dark/age spot on my nose yesterday. its very red/bruised w a small blister bump in the middle. normal? treatment?

Normal: A laser is a "controlled burn". Should heal in 7-10 days. Keep clean and don't pick at peeling skin. Gentle soap cleaning once a day.

Yes: The laser is directed and highly concentrated light that causes a thermal burn in some cases but if the area does not appear to be healing given the post-laser care advised , then call the healthcare provider that performed the procedure.
