Is it possible to be allergic to hyaluronic acid used during microneedling?

Asked By:gracemarie1213 in Montana, MT

I recently had a very bad reaction the first time I had microneedling done. I woke up the next day with swollen blisters that turned into pustules or even pimples it seemed like. I'm not sure if I reacted badly to the peel she applied afterwards that they have apparently been using on everyone or the hyaluronic acid?
