Please help. Will this go away? Looks worse than having hair under my arms. (photos)

Question

Hi I got my 4th laser hair treatment 2 days ago under my arms, while getting this done didn't seem to hurt that bad,but on my drive home I notice my underarms feeling like they were on fire! This lasted for about 6 hours. Now it sore has red/black bumps looks like scars.

The laser hair removal does feel a bit burny after the treatment. You are seeing some burnt marks. This can happen if the area was exposed to the sun and you're tan. Also, if the settings were stronger. These marks will fade and go away on its own. If you have more treatments to do then let your laser provider know what happened.
