I prefer Fraxel re:store for surgical scars.

Can Fraxel Re:pair be used on surgical scars? When (post-surgery) should one begin undergoing the procedure?

Fraxel works very well on surgical scars.  We use it all the time in our office.  However, I think that the Fraxel re:store is better for this then the Fraxel re:pair.  The re:store does not cause as much tissue damage of the fragile scarred skin.  The re:pair is a deeper ablative laser.  We have had excellent results and very happy patients using the Fraxel re:store.
