Question

There are just a few red spots in each cheek. Will they go away? How should I treat them?

I hope you used the proper skincare and LED right light after treatment (see link to emeragecosmetics.com), we have a whole protocol and I suggest you consult with our team to ensure you are using the proper skincare so you do not damage yoru skin and you get healing more quickly.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello there! This is probably due to inflammation and irritation from the PMD. I would definitely use caution using the treatment moving forward, or at least decrease the pressure/time using the treatment. I would "baby" the area with gentle and soothing facial cleansers and creams for at least a week or two. Cetaphil and Aquaphor are good options. Hope this helps!-Sarah RN BSN

Hello, it looks like those spots were formed from the suction.  I'm not too worried they should go away in a few days.  Make sure that you pull your skin taught when using and keep the device moving.  Don't hold it on an area.  Good luck!
