Scars Worse After Laser?

Hi guys, I got fractional co2 laser done for my acne scars a week ago, although I did not have very deep scars in the first place but after a week my scars look much redder and much deeper than before. Just wanted to ask anyone with experience to tell me why I might be seeing this? is this permanent?

Thank you in advance

Not sure what you're exactly experiencing but my guess is that uneven micro-swelling is making the scarring look deeper than before. I am willing to bet with time that your face returns to normal.

It will get better in time. I am in my second week of recovering from a fraxel treatment and I have quite a bit of redness too, but the clinician tells me this is perfectly normal, it may last for a month or so, but is part of the healing process and will get better. :)
