It’s been 1 day since my Venus viva treatment for scarring. I have tiny micro like dots all over my face that feel rough to the touch. After radio frequency treatment for my acne scars I’ve developed tiny pimple like bumps all over my forehead and around my nose area. I’m really worried these won’t go away and if this is an abnormal reaction. What can I do and is this normal?

Hey there,Post fractional RF, redness and mild swelling are normal. It usually lasts for 2-5 days depending on the resurfacing energy settings used. Use of a skin calming moisturiser twice a day and a sunscreen should be enough.
Hope this helps.
