RF Needling Gone Bad

I think is to be expected...most information I have found indicates the formation of dot scabs and redness with this peaking at day 3. Did your administrator not talk about post treatment? I think what you are experiencing is very much to be expected...give it a couple of days and don't pick at any scabs!!

I agree, no picking as that will make scaring more likely! I would think you should keep it moist with aquaphore or bepanthen but I highly recommend that you research all aftercare thoroughly online before applying anything.
Be careful what you wash your face with too, use a very mild cleanser for sensitive skin, nothing perfumed.

Mahoney1 has had this treatment recently...

I have had 2 sessions so far from a different clinic.
Even though the “norm” is slight redness resembling a mild sunburn which is supposed to last only a few days, everyone’s skin is different.
My skin is more sensitive and I actually looked worse by day 3.
I had the scabs form where the needles were inserted and had what looked like scabbed grid all over my face which gradually healed but lasted days 3-14. Bit please do not pick at the scabs!
The last area to heal was the bridge of my nose.
I have completely healed from my 2 sessions and awaiting for my third session.
I think it’s also important to not irritate the skin the first 24-48 hours after the treatment. And after 48 hours I applied sunscreen daily, this is very important.
After my first treatment I used sunscreen and foundation the following day and I believe that prolonged my healing process.
After my second season 4 weeks later, I did not put anything except mild Cetaphil moisturizer the follow evening and continued to keep the skin hydrated.
I washed with very mild I scented cleanser.
After 14 days I did mild exfoliation to remove the dead skin that was left.

Hang in there I hope it works out for you!

I used mild unscented cleanser*
