What Are The Side Effects Of Laser Hair Removal?
my girlfriend had her 6th or 7th session of laser hair removal on her legs about 4 weeks ago. the first week thereafter she noticed that her ankle was starting to swell and it is currently still swollen.
the first week of swelling she had mild pain then it went away and now she says it only hurts when she puts pressure on it with her finger...like a bruise.
There is not hyper or hypo pigmentation.
the laser clinic did not use any creams after the treatment.
She lives in San Antonio so she is exposed to intense sunlight but she spends most of her time indoors.
She is an avid runner and is flat footed. She has gone running after the laser treatment.
She is worried that the swelling wont go away.
Please help, I want to give her answers and a solution.
She wants to see a pcp but it is too expensive for her right now and I cant help out much either.
