Default Re: Laser skin surgery

I had one on my cheek that my dermatologist lasered last year. She said it was pretty deep and it would probably take a couple of treatments. After one, I was happy with it and I didn't want to make it worse. She said since mine was deep it might require a stitch to keep in closed but we decided it was best to leave it as is. I had it for a while, and it was really bothering me (especially since one day I picked at it and it gushed blood...and then any time I touched it, it would gush). So I finally had my dermatologist look at it and she said it would be easy to laser the blood vessel.

I am really happy with the way it looks right now. Mine was a dot (larger than a dot) but it was really bright (and raised since I picked it) and the one treatment lightened it enough that it doesn't bother me anymore. I thought about getting a second treatment, but I am also nervous that it might make it worse again since I seem to have a lot of blood sitting in that area.

Good luck.
