Will Open Wound from Surgical Acne Scar Treatment Fill In?

I had Total FX, 4 months ago; but it did nothing for the acne scars. I opted to have this done, figuring a fine line would be less noticeable than a hole. I called office on day 12, and said it was open. The nurse said it will take time to heal. The plastic surgeon doesn't even want to see the scar until 3 months.
