Is this amount of redness normal after CO2? Also, is there any PIH developing? Can I start IPL? (photos)

Attached photos are 10 days post-op from Total Fx. Still pretty significant day 14 (no photos). Deep Fx to acne scars, predominantly on jawline/cheeks. Settings: 17.5 mJ, density 4 Active Fx to entire face. Settings: 100 mj density 3. Active areas are slightly pink today but nearly normal but deep Fx areas are still very red. Q's: Is this amount of redness normal? Were settings reasonable, aggressive? Do you notice any PIH developing? How soon after CO2 is IPL/PDL safe to reduce redness.
