I had a microneedling treatment yesterday to address malasma around my eyes. My skin is peeling today and the spots where I have malasma are significantly darker. The spots went from red to the color of a bruise. Is this part of the healing? Does it get worse before it gets better? I was hoping this was possibly the darkness being pushed to the surface then going away like I have experienced with chemical peels. Thank you.
