Hypopigmentation and redness after microdermabrasion... is this permanent? :( Is there anything I can do to make it better?

August 28, 2018

I got an acne facial that included a microdermabrasion. I felt the suction was a big high but I trusted my esthetician knew what she was doing. My skin is now red, hypopigmented, flushes easily, and has slight broken capillaries on my cheek? The discoloration in the different areas of my face, especially in comparison to my neck is jarring. I've been using gentle face washes, serums, and moisturizers, but I fear the damage is permanent. Is there anything I can do to make it better?
