Dual Fraxel laser: How do I help my skin heal faster?

Lucy2220
I decided to do the dual fraxel laser, since I was told it is the best and newest laser on the market.  I have had IPL done countless times and it wasn't picking up the hyperpigmentation that was really bothering me.  I had the procedure done on 4/2/13 and it is now 4/23/13, 3 weeks later.  I am still red, my skin is rough in texture, the track marks are still very visible and I am severely breaking out.  I am on two antibiotics for the acne and I am still breaking out.  I also have broken capillaries from the acne and post peeling.  I need some reassurance that this is just a long process that I wasn't properly informed of.  I would appreciate if an expert has any advice.  I need peace of mind!
