I had fraxel repair done by one of the country's finest dermatological laser surgeons 3 weeks ago at a medium level and I am worried because I have a clear grid pattern and obvious tiny holes over my whole face.

Will someone please explain how these holes will fill in and smooth over and this grid like pattern fade?
