I'm applying a generous amount of soothing ointment after popping a pimple; do I really need to get ultrasound treatment? lol

A few days ago, I finally gave up on a huge pimple that popped up on my face and squeezed it out with a cotton swab at home. As you can see in my photo, it got red and swollen and was a total mess. So, as a quick fix to prevent scarring, I've been applying a generous amount of regenerating and soothing gel ointment like a face mask. However, I'm so anxious because I feel like hyperpigmentation is 100% guaranteed if I just do home care like this. If I go to a dermatologist and get an intensive treatment like ultrasonic soothing water droplet therapy or hydration and regeneration care, will the redness go down quickly and new skin grow nicely? Is going to a dermatologist the way to save money and get rid of pimples cleanly without scarring, rather than suffering in silence? I would be so grateful if you experienced people could leave me lots of honest, genuine advice.
