IPL on hypertrophic scar: is it normal to look so red and feel hard after treatment? (Photos)

dolly789
6 days ago I had IPL on my hypertrophic scar, it sort of started to flake off just now, however I'm really worried as my scar looks more red than it used to be and I also feel that it's harder. Please advise whether this is a normal result after 6 days or not.
