I completed a round of Infini micro needling 5 days ago and have scabs, redness and some areas have hyper pigmentation occurring. I am applying Alastin and moisturizer daily but am not seeing significant improvement. The scabs are essentially track marks/grid marks from where needling occurred. Is it normal to have scabs and redness for this many days? Can I apply any other topical creams to accelerate recovery? Will this happen during follow up procedures?
