I just had a laser hair removal treatment on my armpit yesterday. After the treatment it was so painful especially when I put my arms down then i woke up this morning and found burn patches on both armpits. Is this normal? Will this leave dark spots now or this will go away eventually? I still have 4 more session of this that I already paid for.
