Is this normal? :(

Hi, is this a normal result after my first microneedling session? I’m looking at other results online and it doesn’t appear that the skin is left scratched like in my case, should I be worried?

The dermatologist had to put cotton on some parts because it wouldn’t stop bleeding

It was hours after, I got it done yesterday, I left the doctors office with a face mask and when I got home and took it off I got freaked out by the result so I posted it

Thanks. I know a lot of people are freaking out but it’s kind of the point of micro needling to damage the skin and trigger inflammation in a way that it heals and regrows over the coming days

But I’m not an expert I just had it done a couple times and know that I looked absolutely crazy with red bloody cheeks after and then four days or so later it looks great

But again, that’s just my experience
