Is it normal to have a low fever after radio frequency skin tightening (Forma)?

MomChi2020Mar 24, 2019
I’ve had the Forma face treatment a couple of times now, a week apart. I get a low fever around 99.5 for a few days after. (And my normal temp is in the 97s). Other symptoms are feeling very tired and overall not feeling great. Is this normal? Thanks
