Should I try microneedling again after previous reaction (drastic swelling)?

Asked By:Fantastic664046 in Vosburg, Northern Cape, South Africa

I had microneedling done 6 months ago. The first session went well with no complications or reactions. 2 weeks later when I had my second session, I reacted instantly with the very first needle-skin contact under my eye. I started to swell immediately and we stopped the procedure. The swelling was extremely drastic and took up to 4 weeks to go down. It left major pigmentation, worse that the original one. My question is, should I try this again or is a complete NO-NO
