Could my my severe allergic reaction after microneedling be caused by the collagen gel my therapist used? (Photos)

Asked By:caroleswift65 in England

I had 3 microneedling session, 2 weeks apart. My therapist used hyaluronic acid. Other than a bit of redness I had no side affects. I had my 4th treatment and she used collagen gel with the treatment. I had a severe reaction afterwards. I went to see my GP and prescribed a 5 day course of prednisalone steroid tablets. The manufacturer of the gel says the collagen gel should not have been used alongside microneedling treatments. Has anyone any information on this please ?
