Dermabrasion Better Than Fraxel Laser for Acne Scars?
I had Cooltouch almost 2 years ago, but it didn't do anything on my acne scars. I was going for Fraxel, but after reading so many comments and bad experiences, I'm really concerned. From what I read, it seems that people who did Fraxel are not very happy with the results after 1 or 2 years and their scars are even worse. Could you recommend me something that really works? Is dermabrasion better? Is there any kind of surgery that can remove the scars? Thanks for your help.
