Should I be worried about scratches from micro needling? (Photo)

March 17, 2017
Asked By:notebook241 in San Francisco, CA

I had Eclipse MicroPen performed for acne scarring yesterday, and one side of my forehead has what looks like vertical scratches. They seem very superficial and aren't very noticeable in regular lighting, and the doctor who performed the procedure is very well respected, but I'm still somewhat concerned. When you look close they look like little tears or a cat scratch. There are no elevated bumps like I've seen people have experienced after Infini. Thank you.
