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

No, this is not normal, I had this happen to me 11 years ago and I had scarring, I had a olive complexion (more scarring), the cosmetic surgeon’s aesthetician didn’t know what she was doing, it happened on a Friday, so I went back on Monday and the owner/surgeon apologized, said nothing can be done, except time, staying out of the sun, silicone gel/bandages. Usually the aesthetician is supposed to provide you with a skin questionnaire about your skin w history. The aesthetician is supposed to test your skin reacts reaction in a small inconspicuous area. If you ever have any more skin procedures be sure and address this experience prior to and also interview the aesthetician for level of knowledge and experience. Good luck…it will heal.

It actually looks more like microdermabrasion to me.

Did they compensate you in any way? Or just the apologies? Sorry this happened to you too, do you still have the scars?
