For this condition, I have found that using a combination of q-switched alexandrite with Fraxel repair or restore is best. You may only need one treatment, depending on the severity of your condition. Best, Dr. Groff
Mixto Laser vs Fraxel Restore or Repair for dark spots?
I have black spots, hyperpigmentation from acne. They haven't responded to peels or hydroquinone or Triluma. I am thinking of having laser treatments. Which between Mixto, Fraxel Repair, or Fraxel Restore can help best with these spots? Or would you instead recommend Medlite C6 or Ruby type lasers, which are for pigments, than going in for Mixto or Fraxel? I appreciate your help, thanks.
