Could Derma Pen treatments cause this? (photos)

happyme14
I had 2 derma pen treatments in 2015, I year ago for the first one and 6 weeks later, the second. I had track mark like bruises all over my face for 4 days after the treatments. She told me the first time couldn't be explained so we'd try again. Since the second treatment, I have battled horrible cystic acne and small bumps completely covering my entire face. My skin is dry and scaly and is always red. Is there anything I can do to fix this or did Derma Pen ruin my face?
