Is it normal for the skin to develop crusts and scabs after laser hair removal? how long to heal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Depending on the type of laser or BBL used for hair removal and your skin pigmentation it is possible to get small burns. However, more commonly you get some temporary redness after the treatment, and sometimes redness or small bumps around each hair follicle. It is unusual to have crusting or scabs.
