5 days post. Recovery Time with CO2 Fractional laser while on Isotretinoin? What are the chances of getting hypertrophic scar?

Gtropssap
Hi Docs, today is my fifth day post CO2 laser however the treated areas are still very red and it feels a bit embossed when touched. I am on 10mg Isotretinoin, stopped taking it 3 days before the procedure. I can notice slightly reduced redness in the cheeks area but the redness in my forehead is extreme. What are my chances of getting a hypertrophic scar? What is the usual recovery time for this scenario and what can I do to reduce the redness? PS. Asian skin. Thank you!
