Fraxel Repair Vs AcuPulse Fractional CO 2 Laser?

December 24, 2012
Asked By:Sparkle1 in CA

I would like to remove/improve my fine lines, around my mouth and eye areas. With all the lasers out there, and information, I am confused which laser to use. I am considering the Fraxel re;pair or the AcuPulse Fractional CO 2 Laser. In researching these two lasers, I have not been able to determine the difference between the two. Also, could I obtain the same results with the Fraxel Restore, realizing that 3 - 5 sessions would be needed? Thank you!
