I'm concerning if my doctor did too much? she used 3 heads, 4.5mm 3mm and 1.5mm on my entire face and neck, total 1200 times. a few hours later I got quite some welts on my cheeks and side of my eyes. day 3 and the welts is much lighter but my cheek is a little swollen and itchy. from what I read it seems doctors usually only use the 1.5mm around the eyes . is there any harms for using it all over my face ? for example on my left cheek: 4.5mm: 60 *2 , 3.0mm: 45 *2 1.5mm: 45*2
