I had CO2 laser, microneedling and PRP injections two days ago and have loads of swelling and itching. Is this normal? (Photo)

When will the swelling lessen? Am I having a reaction or is this normal? Can I use any anti-itching cream? I'm currently only using baby shampoo to wash my face and aquaphor as moisturizer.
