I got a laser treatment to remove a red spot on my nose, and now it is very dark and I'm worried?

Hello everyone! So I recieved 2 laser treatments for this small bright red dot on my nose that made me like Rudolph. The first treatment didnt really seem to change anything. The second one, the spot looked completely white and I was so happy! However, it soon began flaking, and now is a dark brown color. This was four days ago. I'm very worried because the red was easy to cover up with makeup, but the color now is so dark that its very noticeable. Is this normal? Or really bad?
