The similarity is they both are fractional CO2 lasers

Steven Weiner, MD answers: CO2 Pixel Laser the same as Fraxel?

The derm clinic I've gone to (I live overseas) says the CO2 Pixel laser is the laser they use...but I'm a little confused. Is it the same as Fraxel?

The Fraxel re:pair and the Ultrapulse (Active and Deep FX) are the 2 premier fractional CO2 lasers in my opinion. They have the most clinical data and research behind them.  The technology behind the Fraxel re:pair is very complex with several unique features (they have patents) in their handpiece. The other companies in my opinion are trying to ride on the research done by these companies. That may or may not be valid. I'd stick to the re:pair or the Active FX.
