Asked By:yellowsocks

Hello, I just recently went through my 11th session for laser hair removal 2 days ago. This time, we decided to go 2 J higher than usual, and she decided to pass over the area two times. My upper lip was red and stiff for about 4 hours after the treatment. However since then, it feels dry and there are patches of rough skin when I run my finger over the area. This has never happened before. Did she burn my upper lip?
