Is it normal not to be red the day following microneedling with PRP?

June 9, 2019
Asked By:LyndseyB

I had my second microneedling procedure on Friday and this time added PRP. I was slightly red the first day and had nearly no redness the second day and completely back to normal by day 3 which was unlike my first microneedling procedure (also with a different person than the first) 6 weeks ago. I was very red the first and second day. I just hope I got my money’s worth on the second procedure since it was double the price.
