Skin damage from DiamondGlow. How can I get my skin to heal - lasers, microneedling, etc? (photos)

Kathleen4377Nov 4, 2022
I received two DiamondGlow procedures 2 weeks apart back in August. The first one went well. The second one completely changed my skin for the worst. If I touch my skin it turns red quickly, my skin on different areas of my face has became very thin especially on my chin where the texture has changed & very visible sebaceous filaments -lots of breakouts have lead to scarring, my skin all over my face will scar very easily now and it’s very blotchy. I’m losing hope. Anything I can do to heal?
