Bruising and burning after Brazilian Laser Hair Removal? (Photos)

shopbopML
My 1st time lasering - underarms went fine, but my Brazilian resulted in dark purple patches and streaks of what looks like bruising? She said she would use a higher setting on me bc it was my very 1st time. I'm Asian with olive/tan skin, Type IV. There are other spots that look like burns & some of the streaking looks like scabbing the day after. The esthetician said lasering shouldn't bruise, but maybe the setting was too high? Please advise with any help so that I can prevent this next time!
