Ablative CO2 Laser Treatment Downtime?

illpickle
I am looking at getting ablative CO2 laser treatments on scarring I had from acne when I was a teen. I've done a bit of research and it seems like ablative CO2 might be my best bet, but I was wondering how much downtime am I looking at for recovery? I'm currently looking at doctors in the area offering such treatments and any information would be much appreciated.
