Is it better for me to have mild or aggressive CO2 laser treatment on my face? (Photo)

Asked By:sis61 in New York, NY

I am confused about whether it is better for me to have mild CO2 laser treatment where the downtime is about 3-4 days or aggressive treatment where the downtime is about 4-7 days. What would be the ideal settings of the CO2 laser treatment regarding the acne scars I have on my cheek area?
