Should I have scabs on face 5 days after my first microneedling session? (photo)

Asked By:bealdg7 in Grosse Pointe, MI

I developed significant scabs around my eyes after my first microneedling session. I am on day 5 and still don’t want to show my face in public. I was treated with a new type of pen (36 needles instead of 12), would this have caused the scabbing? She used 0.5-1.0 depth on the pen. I’m scheduled for another session in a month and I’m unsure about processing with that due to my down time with this session.
