I am 4 days post Secret RF microneedling and am having an allergic reaction. Will I see benefits from the treatment? (Photo)

Asked By:Captcon in Indianapolis, IN

My whole face and part of my neck are covered in an itchy rash. After the procedure, they used Alastin Regenerating Skin Complex, and I’ve been very careful to follow all post procedure instructions. I’ve had regular microneedling before with no side effects, so I’m a little confused why I had this reaction with the Secret RF. Should I not do Secret RF again? (I bought a package of 3 treatments.) Also wondering when the itchy bumps will subside. I’m still taking Benadryl. :(
