Burn after laser hair removal session (Soprano). Is it normal to have a burn like this? (photo)

Harry Dhamija
I already had 3 laser sessions. I had my 4th session 4 days ago on my face and this time it was done on a big laser machine. I had a burn on right side of my cheek. It was swollen and red for 2 days and now it has settle down but i have a big mark left on my face. I am applying ice packs, aloe vera gel and Polysporin on the mark but i am scared that how long its gonna take for it to fade away and is it normal to have a burn like this?
