N.B. Its completely normal to notice tiny bumps, pinpoint marks pr mild swelling after your skinbooster treatments — especially around delicate areas. These are simply the small deposits of booster, where they’ll slowly disperse and hydrate from within over the next few days. You may also see a little redness or light bruising, which os part of your skin’s natural healing response. Any marks or puffiness will usually settle with 24/48 hours though light bruising can take a few days to fade.
