3 mos post CO2 laser and have raised patches of skin and gridlines that are visible through makeup. Is this permanent? (photos)

Hi there, I got laser done three months ago and I don’t know if this is normal healing or not. I have large patches of raised skin, and the majority of my skin is not healed yet. It’s been three months and I read typical healing takes 10-14 days. I’m really really scared this is permanent and I ended up worse than before. Thanks in advance.
