Fraxel vs Clear + Brilliant Over 50? (photos)

April 6, 2015
Asked By:CooperHayes in Durham, North Carolina

I have typical over 50 skin: some laxity, few sun spots, large pores, a few marks from blemishes but not acne scars. One derm recommended Clear + Brilliant, one suggested just get started with a few Fraxel sessions and use Clear + Brilliant for maintenance. Considering the time and costs, I am inclined to go with Clear + Brilliant but not if I should just start with Fraxel. Anyone want to break the tie?
