No changes whatsoever after Co2 fractional accupulce laser. When should I see a change? (photos)

Asked By:Selfesteem12 in East Texas, PA

Dear Doctors, I would like to know when I will see results for my acne scars. I'm a 20 year girl with mild to severe acne scars. I got laser done about 6 days ago and my scars seem to be deeper and more noticeable. Please, let me know if I will stay like this, or if I will see changes in some months. Is this normal? Should I wait for my skin to repair? I need help. I'm starting to regret getting laser. Changes are on 0% and I don't know what to do.
