I have mild swelling, itching, and redness after RF needling, could this be an allergic reaction?

It has been about a week since I had the procedure done. Right now I have small red bumps on my face and neck as well as itching. Is this an allergic reaction? What can I apply topically to help with the healing/reduce this effect?
