Skin Damage After Clarisonic. Options?

Unfortunately, last year i started using clarisonic and it broke me out around my chin and 2 spots on my forehead about 3 on my cheeks... it has been 3 months since all of the pimples have "died" and now i am left with red marks...which have faded quite a lot too. but i wanted to know if they will fade more in a year and i can have my old flawless looking skin? thank you so much
