Pixel Laser: Q&A

Can Pixel Laser Be Too Aggressive?
My problem is acne scars. Im of indian ethnicity. I had a pixel laser with these settings: 2940 nm medium pulsed 7x7 matrix 600joule 2 passes, and then with the same settings but long pulsed, the doctor did 3x stacking over my scars area only.
Is this too aggressive? Can any expert suggest/share the recommended settings based on your experience?

In order to accomodate patients with your skin-type, I use lower settings on the Pixel and have them return every 2 to 4 weeks. There is no data to support this but my fear of hypopigmentation (which most probably resolves) prevents me from doing a deeper burn. The problem is even more...
