Fraxel Re:store or Fraxel Re:pair versus Active FX

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Active FX vs. Fraxel laser treatments - which is better?

It seems like Fraxel and ActiveFX are both supposed to treat the same problems, but which one is better?

Fraxel re:store involves a series of 3 to 5 treatments while Active Fx involves a single, sometimes a second treatment.  They both give good results.  Active FX is a very superficial treatment for sun damaged skin. 

Fraxel re:pair in a single treatment gives much better results than Active FX.  To get results similar to Fraxel re:pair, a Deep FX treatment needs to be added to the Active FX treatment.  Be well.
