The skin does look very sore and inflammed and in my opinion Tyson is receiving the right treatment. Amitraz is the medication that kills the parasite (so it is very important to carry on treatment as prescribed). As bacterial skin infection commonly complicates demodicosis your dog is also on antibiotic (Ceporex). Tyson skin will heal eventually but this is going to be a long process (2-3 months). Once fully healed, demodecosis could return but in many caoses it doesn't come back once the dog gets older.
