I has CO2 laser on the 19th and my skin has peeled off, but the skin underneath looks like sandpaper. Is this normal? (photos)

I got the co2 laser done on 19th Tuesday and it is now its Saturday the 24th. My skin had peeled off but the skin underneath looks like sandpaper. I have so many indentations on my face now, It so textured and bumpy. From what ive seen when the skin comes off it reveals soft and smooth looking skin. Im worried that it hasn't healed correctly. Im scared the doctor who did it was careless and went too deep and its now going to cause scarring from all these indents. Is this normal?
