Red spots after microdermabrasion? (Photos)

simplyshine
I got microdermabrasion yesterday and I have sensitive skin. I didn’t have any pain during the procedure but in between felt little uncomfortable and my aesthetician decreased the intensity. After coming back home I noticed I have got tiny red spots below my cheeks, temples and neck. Is this normal or some side effect of the treatment and I have damged my skin permanently. Although all the redness was gone in few hours and I was feeling perfectly ok but these marks are just the same even today
