Fractional CO2 Laser Resurfacing Collagen Remodelling?

andreev11
I have a severe acne scar and to remove it, I have done a fractional CO2 laser resurfacing 1 month ago. However, I did not see any dramatic improvement as it is promised and the result of the laser is rather disappointing. Based on my knowledge, I will be able to see the full result of the laser in 2-3 months after the collagen stops remodeling. My question is: How well the collagen remodeling phase improve my acne scar? Will it be noticeable or just a little improvement?
