Thank you for your question. If you do not mind a downtime of 1 week the best laser is Fractional CO2. This is because you get much improvement with just one treatment. Fraxel Re:Store is another option, but you will have to wait months and undergo several sessions before seeing great results. I recommend having a consultation with an expert to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Although depressed acne scars with shallow sloping borders respond well to Fraxel laser, some narrow deep ice-pick scars respond better to punch grafts. The scar is cored out surgically with a tiny instrument called a punch and then a tiny piece of skin, usually removed from behind your ear so it's not visible to others, is used to plug the hole. The new skin acts like a graft and then it can be resurfaced by dermabrasion or Fractional laser such as Fraxel. Some ice-pick scars can be treated by multiple sessions of strong acid such as TCA (trichloroacetic acid) applied carefully by the physician to the base of the scar which helps it heal more elevated and repeated until the surface comes close to the surface. Then the scar can be resurfaced. Punch grafts are usually not done on the eyelids, lower or upper. Fraxel may quite effective, though, for some patients without the punch grafts. Please realize that no treatment can remove all the wrinkles or scars.

I like the fractional CO2 results best (if you can do downtime of 1 week) because you get so much improvement with just one treatment, often more that 5 Restore sessions will provide. restore is for those patient enough to wait the months it takes to get several sessions, but they can only do minor downtime.
