I had fully ablative (not fractionated) CO2 laser on a deep scar on my left cheek yesterday morning.

I never received specific instructions for after care, just to wash with a gentle cleanser and keep Vaseline on it. How often should I wash my face though? And how much Vaseline? Like a thick coat? Is it possible to wash too much and put too much Vaseline on? I don't want to risk hurting my skin. Please help me, I would really appreciate some guidance. I tried calling my doctor's office today and the medical assistant was very vague on what I should do even though I asked her for specific instructions.
