Is extremely dry lips a common side effect of laser hair removal on face?

gaalgaal
I have been doing laser hair removal on my face (Nd:yag). I am a south Asian female in my twenties. Lately I have noticed I get super chapped lips a couple of days after I get my face done. I am talking leathery dehydrated lips in the middle of summer. I am starting to suspect it is a side effect of when the laser operates on my upper lip. Is this a common side effect? Is it dangerous? Should I stop doing the treatment?
