How Long After Total FX Can I Expect my Skin to Become Soft Again?

I'm done with the weeping/crusting. That took about 3 days. Much of the flaking is gone too, it's mostly around my hairline & jawline. Now my skin is very red in the areas it was treated & doesn't feel soft despite using Aquafor and Avené cream. I had the procedure 6 days ago. I'm also wondering about red circles I have on my face where the Dr. must've been more aggressive. I also now have a light brown patch on the edge of where I was treated. Is this normal? I see my Dr in 2 days.
