Allergic reaction to Infini procedure? (Photo)

Question

I had my first Infini treatment done on my cheeks and forehead yesterday, but the redness is much more intense than any photo/review I've found for 30 hours after treatment. Additionally, I think I'm having an allergic reaction to products that were used as I have small red hives on parts of my face that weren't treated, which may be why my face is so red and angry in treated areas. I'm not sure what to do at this point, or if this will leave my face worse than it started! Very upset by the outcome.

This is unusual after Infini and might be the products placed on the skin. I would use steroid to reduce the redness and hives. If redness is greater than 2 weeks, a vascular laser should be used. Consider a 2nd opinion.

Contact your specialist who performed this treatment - exclude early infection, inflammation, irritant or allergic contact dermatitis. They will know how to subside this reaction. I can not comment on the treatment as we do not know of the treatment depth, energy levels, pulse duration, passes, carbon build up on the tips nor post op. skin care. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim.
