Follow-up question: Is this swelling and lots of sensation normal for my third microneedling treatment? (Photos)

Asked By:thuynguyen1981 in California, CA

Hello doctors, this is my third microneedling and I’m experiencing swelling and lots of sensation of burning which didn’t happen in the previous procedures. I used vitamin C serum and numb cream with the procedure. Should I be concerned about the swelling? What over-the-counter drug should I use to help with swelling? Picture 1 was 2 hours after treatment, pic 2 was about 10 hours with swelling. Thank you for your help!
