Is it normal that my face looks this bad the day after microneedling treatment? Also my left eye (which is a lot more swollen then the right one) feels like there’s something in it. It’s very uncomfortable and it’s a bit red. I would like to know what I can do and if it is normal.

Answer: Red face 1 day after microneedling Thank you for sharing your questions and sharing your photos. It is not unusual to have redness and swelling 1 day following aggressive microneedling. See your doctor if this does not resolve in a couple of days or if your pain worsens. I hope this helps. Good luck,

Answer: Microneedling and swelling Yes, you can have swelling and redness. Swelling may be more noticeable on the 2nd day and will subside. Your skin will look similar to a moderate sunburn right after the treatment and should turn to a pink hue within 24-48 hours, depending on how aggressive the treatment was. Keeping the skin hydrated can help take down the redness. Also, keep at least 30spf on your face/treatment area. Treatment may have been more aggressive around your right eye. I would check with your provider.
