Red dots like patches after microneedling. Is it normal for these red dots to show up and how long before they disappear?

Hello, Just had my microneedling done yesterday. After the procedure, there's medium size red dots( unlike the size of the needle which is tidy) and shape like a cross on the middle of of forehead. I also noticed there's about 5 similar sizes of the same red dots across my nose. My skin still a bit swollen especially on my forehead. thanks in advance...
