Indented Vertical and Blackhead Extractor Scar!

An aesthetician removed blackheads with an extractor. My first time. It left 1 scar in the shape of the extractor (the impression is intented in my nose). There are other vertical indendation from her using her fingernails with tissues. It's been 2 months. I also have about 30 tiny broken capillaries. I have before and after photos. They weren't there before. What's the best solution for the indented scars? Will it resolve on it's own? What about the caps? What home care should I try
