Is this normal for microneedling? 3 days post-op. (photos)

Question

3 days ago I had microneedling done. I woke up the next morning w/whiteheads that progressed throughout the day. This morning I woke up and they are much more agressive; it seems like my swelling and redness is getting worse. The whiteheads itch and sting terribly. I am also drooling and having a hard time talking, eating and drinking. I called my doctor 3 times and she says it is all normal except the drooling but that I probably having an underlying medical condition I should see a doctor for.

I recommend speaking with your Dr regarding home regimen and a followup facial to clear this quicker. A series of microneedling with PRP, combined with a home regimen including Vitamins A&C will greatly assist in the healing process. Best of luck!

I recommend following up with your Doctor about after care and skin care recommendations. We suggest all patients follow up with facials like Silk Peel Dermalinfusuion to hydrate, exfoliate and provide the skin with antioxidants. Sun protection is also essential. I always combine microneedling with prp and lasers to get the best outcomes. We do treatments every 3-6 weeks. Best, Dr. Emer
