I am 22 years old and have done 2 fractional co2 lasers for the acne scars on my face. I am tempted to do a 3rd treatment, but am scared it™s not the right direction to take. Any recommendations?? Thank u!!!

The picture is too fuzzy. Please consider taking another snap as shown below:

 

More shadows, the better. Angled lighting is an approach used to create a heavy shadow that will accentuate the scar for better evaluation as shown below. This is done by pointing a bright light perpendicular (90-degree) to the angle of the camera lens. See below.

Also don't shoot so close that it only shows the cheek. Try to include other parts of the face (eg. nose, mouth and/or ear). This will give better perspective of the scar size.

What CO2 laser was it and how aggressive was it?

Looks like you have some rolling scars which could be improved with subcision.
