Itchy, red, bumpy skin after PICO Genesis? (Photos)

December 14, 2016
Asked By:bementcm in Fairview Park, Ohio

I had a PICO Genesis laser treatment for the first time on Monday Afternoon (2 days ago) and my face is bumpy, red and itchy. I know that it takes about 7 days to see the benefits of the treatment but I wanted to know if this is a normal or common reaction to have shortly after treatment. I have make up on but you can still see in the photos. I have included one of a side view before the treatment with no makeup as well
