Did I Have Fraxel Repair?

I had what I think is Fraxel Repair, as it is supposed to be one treatment. It left patterns during the healing like shredded wheat. I am just concerned when I see people talk about 4 passes. They said it was the newest one on the market and it was a one treatment Fraxel. They also said Fraxel CO2. I also only had numbing cream, which for me was fine. I have to say even though I only had it 48 hours ago I can already see dramatic improvement in skin. Does this seem like Fraxel Repair?
