Quote from: randim on April 02, 2019, 05:02:47 AMWent under the needle for the first time yesterday. I had grown my hair for 3 days around the corners of my mouth and lower lip and had shaved elsewhere. I am 65, with a pretty wiry beard. The pain wasn't bad, but I am a little concerned about the after effects. She treated the area with some type of lotion afterwards but there is some redness in the area today about 12 hours later, most in the form of some little red spots. It's not terrible but if you look close you can see something isn't right. Is this normal? Should I have done more to treat it afterwards? I had hoped the procedure would be largely invisible outside of growing the beard out for sessions. Is it possible I should look for a different person?

I didn't do proper post-procedure care and I foolish exercised the day afterwards (which got the blood pumping and filling up where the follicles were ), but for whatever reason I just look like some kind of pox patient right now. I think I am just screwed for several days at least. I know you're not supposed to pick them or anything. I have to say it doesn't give me much confidence in the operator though.
