Sun damage after ablative CO2 caused orange peel texture - Should I get another CO2 treatment to fix it? (photos)

Diligent381588
I had an ablative co2 done for my acne scars a few months ago. However I had a terrible sun exposure about 3 weeks post procedure that I’m sure has left my skin damaged :( I was really torn up about it but I’ve just been moving forward with fraxel and other treatments and trying not think about it too much. However my skin has an orange peel texture now. Im not sure if I should get another co2 at some point to resurface my skin. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
