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

ksantiJan 17, 2019
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?

Microdermabrasion is safe for all skin tones.  To be safe, please create a post stating a list of products being used along with treatment over past 3 years.  Products like hydroquinone are made to be used in short duration and could be the cause of your hypopigmentation

Dear Reba,It sounds like you have really been stressing out your skin.The first step is to protect your skin with Spf 30 daily. Avoid sunbathing. Good hydration and a wide brimmed hat.Take a break from skin treatments for now. Over time your skin will heal better.Best. Dr Brecht
