I had laser treatment for rosacea today but I've just noticed indentations on my cheeks.

The doctor didn't mention indents as a side effect. Only redness and a burning sensation that have both already subsided. I just looked in the mirror and noticed these lines and am slightly freaking out!

Could it be caused by swelling?

Give the place that treated you a ring and ask them. You do look slightly swollen but it's hard to say just from one pic!

@QuestionableMouse They are closed now but if it's still there in the morning I'll give them a ring. I didn't find the doctor the most approachable of people which isn't great as I now feel uncomfortable asking him questions.

The skin is going lighter in those areas as well now. 😬
