Scratches after Diamond Microdermabrasion and glycolic peel same day. What to do? (photos)

Question

I had my second diamond microderm treatment today followed by a 65% glycolic peel with a lavender mask placed after. I noticed I had scratches all over my face, obviously from the microderm. Is this user error or is this a normal thing that can happen?? Any suggestions what to apply to it to hasten the healing of these scratches??

Dear RachelDon't worry.  These are superficial abrasions.  The most important thing is not to put any harsh or active ingredients on the face while the skin is healing.  These would include any scrubs, any acids such as retinoic or glycolic.  The most important thing is to place either Vaseline or Aquaphor and this should heal within 1 week.  Remember to apply the sunblock.All the bestDr Soni
