I have been plucking my chin hair since I was 20 . Over time it has grown in dark so I decided to give laser a try . I purchased a package of 5 after my first appointment everything was good but I got a big pimple on my chin . I went back the next month for my next treatment and the place I got the pimple is now a cyst and it is the size of a pea ...... wow now what I have seen my dermatologist many times it will get small then big again . My dermatologist said the only way to get rid of it is to cut it out .... .

Laser should certainly not be the cause of your pimple / syst. At worst the heat from the laser may have activated a dormant cyst caused by an ingrown / broken hair from your plucking. In any event before you get it cut open and gain a facial scar may I suggest you ask your doctor or dermatologist if injecting some cortizone directly into the cyst may solve it. From my experience if it is not a puss filled syst (pimple / boil) and it is subcutaneous a single injection of circa 3ml cortizone will disolve it.
