Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. No, this is not reason to be concerned since it is expected to have some skin changes due to such procedure and it will pull back in short time so you don't need to worry. You can apply mild steroid cream if there will be progression of redness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
