Trying to heat the layup and flatten out the bubbles is not a good idea -
you need a bond with the foam underneath and you wont get it this way. You
will also probably risk deforming/ debonding the rest of the layup.

The safest way is to sand away the bubbles an do a repair layup over the
resulting damaged area ensuring you get a good bond to the foam underneath
(micro filler etc). Injecting resin into the bubbles is acceptable provided
they are comparatively small.
