PicoSure Skin Rejuvenation blotchy red around cheeks after treatment, is this due to the healing process?

Asked By:Katbabe in Glasgow, GB

I've had my first picosure skin rejuvenation a week ago. I got it down to remove a couple of sun spots ans some freckles. My skin is generally very good but since having the treatment there is definitely texture on my face. It feels lumpy and I still have blotchy red around my cheeks. Is this likely to go away over time? it also itchy's a little and feels a little tingly. Is that due to the healing process?
