Wrinkles and Pits on Skin After Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Jasmine12
I have a skin type of 3 and had a single laser hair removal treatment of the whole face with Alexandrite 755 laser. After that I notice small pits in some places on my forehead and some wrinkling on my cheeks which was not present earlier. Is this permanent and could this have been avoided by using a different laser?
