How many CO2 fractional laser treatments are required? (Photo)

Chris.2017
I am having acne scars (not severe) and undergoing the Co2 fractional laser treatment. Just to share my treatment experience, the redness was only on the 1st day. On the 2nd day, my skin has became rough like a sandpaper and darker tone. The skin started to peel off on the 4th to 5th day and completely peeled off on 7th or 8th day. I have did 4 treatments and couldn't see any impact. The doctor has actually told me that I need to do 15 to 20+ treatments to get my face fully resurfaced.Do I need so?
