How long does it take to see results from subcision and ablative laser?

I am around 3 weeks post op from Mark Taylor's treatment. I got TCA 20% peel, ablative erbium laser, subcision using taylor liberator, ablative fractional CO2, PRP, and sculptra.

My face is still bruised/swollen and red, and I see some improvement (maybe 20-30%). I still have deep scars on my forehead and glabella which is what has always bothered me the most. I know it takes 3 months to see the full improvement, but how likely is it for my scars to improve drastically over the next 2 months? I know it takes time for collagen to remodel and everything, but I want to be realistic and I'm honestly kind of sad right now.

It can look really good in the weeks following procedures because of swelling. So I hate to say it, but don't get too excited about your results at first. Usually as the swelling goes down, your results may look less impressive.

From everything I've seen, you really need multiple sessions to see good results. And results are usually pretty gradual.
