Laser hair removal on upper lip 2 days ago. I plucked some hairs that were already starting to show. Did I make it worse?

I got laser hair removal on my upper lip 2 days ago, and already started to see dark blackhead-like spots at the ends. It was obviously hair. I plucked some out but didn't continue. I did not force the rest that showed and did not come out with tweezers. This was only my first session and intend on going within the next 4 weeks. I'm worried now that i plucked some. What will happen the next time i get laser please?
