Asked By:amfelton in Marshfield, WI

I had Microneedling today. The skin pen to be exact. My forehead and under eyes are extremely raw. Almost looks like they could bleed. This reaction is way more severe than a sunburn. I also have the chills, vomiting and ringing in the ears. Has this ever happened? They told me my skin would be normal looking in 24 hour. I had the treatment at 10:30 this morning.
