My skin is dull, dry and darker where she completed the treatment. There are scabs near my nose which you can see in the pictures. It has been 3 days since the procedure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

Sensitivity after microdermabrasion is normal and should settle down on its own. In the meantime, keep your skin protected, use moisturizer, an SPF cream, and don’t use harsh exfoliants until your skin is fully recovered.
