IPL Laser Hair Removal HELP!!?

So don’t laugh at me. I got IPL Laser Treatment on my sideburns and excessive neck hair and yes, I’m a girl.

My sideburns didn’t hurt that much just a slight stinging sensation but not very painful. But when the lady was doing my neck it was EXCRUCIATING and the pain was almost burning.. I have quite an average personal pain tolerance but this was really horrible and I was crying alot.

Afterwards the swelling and hotness went down with this cooling fan device. The treated areas appeared clean and hairless but if I stroked my finger in the opposite direction the hairs grow in, I could feel slight stubble.

About 5 days after the procedure I’ve been getting pimples and red bumps on my sideburns and neck. And the hairs have grown alot. They are short little dark hairs and I’ve been plucking them out with my fingers ( by the way is that safe).

I googled IPL and most of the pages indicate that you should feel little to no pain, just slight discomfort. I’m beginning to doubt whether this clinic did their job right and if they’re really qualified? I’m supposed to be going for repeat procedures and my next one is on the 21st.

How should I be caring for the treated areas after treatment? Should I stop plucking the regrowth hairs? And will it hurt less the second time? Is this whole procedure actually going well? Please help!
