Practitioners who use this product with the skin are intending to stimulate platelet activation imitating the body's natural injury response, which is consistent with swelling.This effect is well supported in the literature.The patient may also be experiencing an allergic reaction due to the use of the skinpen used during the same procedure, which is contraindicated for patients with an allergy to nickel as this patient has.This allergic reaction may have been further triggered by the intake of mango which the practitioner stated was an unusual intake for the patient.The patient is also allergic to kiwi, so a mango allergy is not unlikely.
