Should I be concerned about the lines after microdermabrasion and a peel? (photo)

May 2, 2019
Asked By:Gregarious5985 in Sydney, AU

I have just gotten my 4th treatment of microdermabrasion followed directly by a peel and until yesterday had not before seen such drastic lines all over my face until now. I’m worried they will scar and stay brown. What should I do?
