Fraxel or Profractional Treatment for Thin, White Scars?

I'm a 20 year old female and a couple of years ago damaged by left thigh by using a razor. There are approximately 10 thin scars scattered across my upper left thigh. You can really notice them under certain lighting which is effecting my self esteem. I have had two consultations one for Fraxel treatment and the other for Profractional treatment.

I'm very confused and wondering which would be most appropriate. I have read about Profractional and now worry that maybe this treatment might be to strong for these scars.
