Can fraxel laser be used on my back and chest for old acne scars?

Nigel Browning
I am 45 years old and I have pale skin. If I had treatments on my chest, I assume I would need to shave it, and would the laser help reduce the scarring and not effect the hair growing back, For my back, would it be a problem sleeping and resting on my back which could jeopardise the results?
