Chemical burns from Microdermoabrasion with enzyme peel, should I be worried? (photos)

January 17, 2019
Asked By:ksanti in Asbury Park, NJ

i received an enzyme peel followed by a microdermabrasion. Immediately looking at my face after the treatment it was very very red, dark spots and tender spots. I have had a micro in the past and have left looking great. Did my micro tech do something wrong? Should i be worried?
