Fraxel Repair Vs. Total FX (Active FX with Deep FX) - Which is Better? Now that Fraxel has put out the new Fraxel repair laser, I am wondering if I should get that instead of the Active FX plus Deep FX treatment I planned to get next month. A lot of people are saying the Fraxel repair laser is really good...is it better than the Active FX and Deep FX combination? Which is more expensive?

A: Fraxel repair is similar to Deep FX with no Active FX

From the way the laser is structured, the Fraxel repair device is very similar to the Deep FX laser in that the micro beams the laser produces are about 130 microns in size. That is the limit for the fraxel repair. In additon to the microbeams, the Active FX produces larger diameter beams which are better for surface treatment. Because of the greater versatility of the Lumenis UltraPulse the laser could be considered to be a better choice.
