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!

Answer: Fraxel repair vs. AcuPulse Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment
Not everyone experiences peeling skin after a Fraxel re:store treatment. Some may simply experience mild swelling, redness, and warmth after the procedure, and gradually fade into the color of a mild sunburn over a few days. If you are keeping the skin moist, then it will be less likely to peel....
Dark pigmentation on the skin can be caused by genetics, hormones,
and sun exposure. I would use a carefully curated protocol of laser
therapy, fractional ablation, Covalent peels, and topical creams. The
most important step is first starting Melarase creams for at least 6 to 8
weeks.
