Is it possible to get acne from an inanimate object?

Hello guys,
I have had acne almost for a year, mostly hormonal, scar-leaving big whiteheads+some usual little pimples. I have a huge scarring problem mostly concentrated on my cheeks.

My question might sound a little paranoid and stupid but here it is: today, in a beauty center, the beautician touched my face with the "skin analysis machine" or something like that a couple times, without cleaning it first... I don't think it was cleaned after every customer as she claimed doing so, but I just couldn't say no because i'm basically dumb...
I had my sunscreen on, a thick layer actually. Is it possible for me to get some extra pimples from this contact even though it is an inanimate object, just because the machine touched someone with acne before? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I do not think that is the main cause of getting the new pimples. Of course it might transfer some bacteria or chemicals, but not to a high enough degree to get pimples from this.
