Is it normal to have scratch marks after a microdermabrasion & chemical peel? (Photo)

leciastoverOct 14, 2017
Hello went in for 2nd microdermabrasion and the esthetian didn’t even ask but just applied a chemical peel after assuring me it would help with my acne scarring. The burning sensation was very intense and my skin was pretty red afterwards. A few hours later I noticed all of these tiny scratches on my face? Please help
