How Many Fraxel Repair Treatments is Equal to One Ablative CO2 Laser?

Question

Joel Schlessinger, MD · Answer

I love my Fraxel Re:pair compared to the old CO2 lasers.  It works with much less down time and its safety level is much higher than the older CO2.  My guess is that you will need one treatment and will be happy with it.  While it won't have quite as much effect, the skin color will be much more normal than the older machines!  Good luck!

Hi Sea,
I have found that depending on the patient, 2 to 3 Fraxel repair treatments are equivalent to a single CO2 traditional laser treatment.
Good luck and be well.
