I just had an Infini treatment (microneedling + RF) performed 48 hours ago and aside from the expected redness, I have completely broken out with what appears to be cystic acne + whiteheads in the treated areas. I haven't had issues with acne for years. After the treatment, they applied Vitamin C gel and talc. I have been cleansing with a gentle cleanser and using the same Vitamin C gel. I also used dapsone gel 5% when I felt the acne flare begin. Why is this happening?
