Fraxel re:pair has been impressive with acne scars

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Fraxel repair vs. Pixel laser - which works better on acne scars?

Hi, I'm interested in getting some laser resurfacing done on my face and I'm thinking about going with the Pixel laser. How well does the pixel laser work on acne scarring? What's the recommended amount of times needed?  Does Pixel work better than Fraxel repair?

Hi scubasteve,

I have had very good experience with treating my patients acne scarring with Fraxel re:pair.  I have not had any experience with Pixel, but from those who have, I have heard that it is not as effective as the re:pair.  Good luck and be well.
