Does the Fraxel Dual Improve Pigmenation As Well As Improving Scars and Wrinkles?

Tags: acne, candidate, hyperpigmentation
I am looking for a laser that improves acne scars, but also improves the pigmenation as I think I have rosacea. I realise that IPL helps even the tone and fraxel helps with scarring. I can't really afford both, does the fraxel dual reduce the redness and patchiness as well as improve scars and wrinkles?

Fraxel and Rosacea...
No. Unfortunately, Fraxel Dual does not treat any redness in the skin, as in Rosacea. Cutera's Limelight, Laser Genesis, or their new Excel V are excellent for Rosacea treatments. Sorry. Fraxel is a great choice for resurfacing and treating brown pigmentation's, like Melasma and sun damage.
Good luck.

Fraxel Dual Improves Brown Spots, Minor Wrinkles, Not Scars
Hi Graeme,
Fraxel Dual is effective at decreasing brown pigment, fine wrinkles, but does not treat deep enough into the skin to improve scars (unless they are very superficial, in which case they are likely to disappear on their own). Good luck and be well.
