Can different Fraxel settings give you bad and good results?

MMiney
I have melasma and had fraxel under the melasma setting. Excellent results. The melasma did come back and another expert told me I had pigmentation, therefore had fraxel under the pigmentation setting. Red, itchy skin as a result, not good at all. Why do different fraxel settings give excellent or bad results?
