laser skin whitening side effects - #12781

Aasha

I am really anxious about something that happened a few weeks ago. I decided to try laser skin whitening because my skin has been really uneven, and I wanted to boost my confidence for an upcoming wedding. At first, everything seemed fine after the treatment. But then, I started noticing some redness and swelling around the areas that were treated. I googled “laser skin whitening side effects” and honestly, now I’m freaking out! 😩 I’ve read that some people can get burns or permanent discoloration, which is the last thing I want! Like, is it normal to have redness a few weeks after the procedure? I thought maybe if I put some aloe on it, it would heal faster, and I did that. Should I be worried about laser skin whitening side effects showing up even later? Another thing is, I feel like it feels kinda itchy and I don’t know if that’s normal or not. I mean, I really want the results to work, but hearing all these horror stories about laser skin whitening side effects is making me consider if I made a huge mistake. Should I go see a dermatologist or just give it more time? I just need some advice from anyone who’s dealt with this!
