There is a chance of pigmentary alteration with Fraxel, if you had vitiligo earlier.
There is a chance that any area can become depigmented (light coloured) with any kind of injury in persons who have a tendency to/ history of vitiligo. And Fraxel is no exception. But you could start out with a smaller area, see how this works for you and then take it further. Do discuss with your doctor, about doing the resurfacing process in smaller sessions, with periodic reassessments.
Good luck!
