Profractional Xc Vs Fraxel Re:store for Acne Scars

i recently had my first fraxel re:store dual treatment done about two weeks ago.although i have seen results in my skin appearance, i still have the same acne scars.now i plan on doing more treatments as i know it takes several trtmnts in a series, but if im spending 1000$ a treatment i dont want to get a half A treatment. so my question is is a profractional xc going to be more effective for my acne scars than treatments with the fraxel re:store? also how many treatments would i neeed for each?
