Is Fraxel Restore or Fraxel Repair Safer and More Effective for Asian Skin?

I've gone through 6 treatments of Affirm multiplex to treat my acne scars. Although there was no complications and I can see improvement in my skin tone and texture, the result is not fantastic as I expected. I think I'm more of type III Asian skin and during my sessions with Affirm, the redness was gone after only one night. As such, I think my skin is not very sensitive. So should I choose Fraxel restore or repair to see significant improvement but still keep the risk at reasonable level?

Fraxel Restore is safer for Asian skin

The greater the inflammation, the greater the chance of developing postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, therefore, the Fraxel Repair might have a greater risk than the Fraxel Restore. Certainly the post operative period is more involved with the Repair.
