Can C02 laser be done a week or two after subcision?

I plan to have subcision done by a different doctor than my laser treatment, that's why I can't do it on the same day. Would like to know if the results will be less effective if the subcision is done several days or weeks before the laser vs. having both done on the same day? Also, how important is subcision in combination with laser for correcting rolling scars? Will laser do anything on its own or is subcision necessary to see good results? How long is the skin bruised/swollen from subcision?
