Four days ago, i had Genius RF microneedling done for mild rolling scars and overall anti-aging. The very next day, my face erupted in itchy, red bumps. They don™t look like an acne bumps, but rather, inflammatory bumps that follow the same pattern as the needles. I went back to the doctor, who suspects it could be an infection and put me on antibiotics and antivirals.  But she honestly said she™s not sure what happened and has never seen a case like this.

The photos don™t even show how bad the texture is.  My skin is extremely bumpy.  Has this happened to anyone else?!  Please tell me it got better.  I™ve seen NO improvement in the bumps or redness over last 4 days.

I've had 4 Genius RF sessions for reference.

I did have break outs every single time of tiny whiteheads. It looks like you're having an inflammatory response.Healing from Genius is VERY itchy. It's an itch fest, so that's normal. I hope you feel better soon. Ithink in a couple weeks you'll be able to assess the situation better and know where you're at with healing. Keep that doctor informed because they're responsible for your case. I would say given how inflamedsome places are and the slight grids on the forehead that blame should be placed on the operator.

Very important to avoid the sun. Use a lot of moisturizer. Try a cream with fatty acids which are needed for the barrier function of the skin. I'm no doctor. Try to go to another doctor for an independent perspective as fast as you can. :smileys_n_people_187: all the best

hi! Did you by chance figure out what it was? And how long did it take for it to go away? I got microneedling done on Friday afternoon, and I started off red but it turned to exactly this on Monday. Im on my second day of having this itchy, red, bumpy skin and it is showing no signs of dissipating. Would appreciate hearing what you did!
