Expected results from Laser treatments?

I just had a Profractional and Microlaser peel about 48 hrs ago and I'm freaking out cause my skin looks to be worse than before the treatment.

The doctor recommends that I use Hydra B5 gel and it seems to me that I'm not healing... I still have laser marks and will these fade? She spot treated my face so I'm kind of going through this anxiety stage that my skin won't heal....

I don't know what to expect in the next couple of days. My skin seems to be tight but the redness from the lasers are still there!
