Is this normal? Post nano fractional RF face treatment (Photo)

Question

I got a Venus nano fractional rf treatment on my face 3 days ago. Are my results/redness normal and will it get better? I got it done with the rep that came to my school to demonstrate the machines so I doubt she can provide me with medication

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

OF COURSE you will be red and swollen after VIVA and sometimes this lasts for 3-7 days. You should have been educated on proper post skin care and LED therapy to speed up the healing process along with PRP.  Please see an expert.  Fo facial rejuvenation I would suggest a combination approach of :
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel, Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at restBest, Dr. Emer.

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.
