Negative reactions from the Venus Viva Treatment? Are these all normal? (Photo)

mame1991
I had the Viva treatment for the first time 72 hours ago. I think I had a severe allergic reaction. Following the day after getting the treatment, my face began to swell all over, became very itchy and stayed very red. I see that this can happen and am using Benadryl. But I also experienced a huge number of bumps under my skin on my cheeks, side of face, and chin. As of day 3 this appears like severe acne, including a bunch of small white heads all throughout. Is this normal?
