Hi Violeta,
It really depends on the surgical scar as all of the modalities are effective.
Both Fraxel restore and repair work well on improving scars. Fraxel restore requires a series of 4 to 6 or more treatments separated by at least 2 weeks. The recovery is much easier, but there are many more treatments than with repair. The results are not as dramatic as with repair.
With Fraxel repair, patients may require 1 to 3 or more treatments separated by 4 to 8 months (depending on how the healing goes) with a more aggressive treatment, and a one week recovery period.
Fraxel repair Lite works well and falls somewhere between restore and repair. It would require multiple treatments (4-6) with less recovery each time.
Good luck and be well.
