I suggest consulting with your physician to have a hormone panel test done, as facial hair in women is commonly a hormonal imbalance. Laser hair removal will improve this area and rid the hair on your chin in a series of treatments. Please consult with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

If you go back they will definitely need to use a more conservative setting, because it seems that the settings that were used here were way too strong for your skin. After post laser burns heal they can leave a dark spot, especially if you have a history of hyper pigmentation or scarring easily...
