Is this a normal microneedling reaction to an aggressive treatment? (Photo)

February 24, 2017
Asked By:jojo9595 in Los Angeles, CA

Had a microneedling treatment yesterday. Overall redness significantly went down when I woke up this morning. She went over my problem spots deeper (surgical scar, hyperpigentation) and those are the spots that look so aggravated now. Is this a normal reaction? You can see these patterns of red dots on parts of my face too, kind of like petechiae, is this from the bleeding? Pretty worried because I thought this was a "little downtime" ordeal but I look like I just had co2 laser. Hope I'll heal
