Why does my skin breakout after hair laser removal? (photos)

The picture with hair on my chin was a couple hours before my first laser hair removal treatment (3 November 2021). After 3-4 weeks I saw some changes on my skin. In the treatment area I developed some acne and red spots. On 15 December 2021 I had my second laser hair removal treatment. My skin didn’t changed but only gets worse. the other picture is from today. I never had this type of acne on my chin before, does the laser activate it or are my hairfollicles infected? how can I get rid of it?
