Fraxel Repair or Youlaser (fractional CO2 laser)? (Photos)

Question

I have a chicken pox scar and redness scar with slight indentation caused by initially 'too aggressive' V-Beam treatment. I am advised Fraxel Repair or Youlaser. I've heard about the Fraxel Repair reputation but never heard about Youlaser. I'm sure there's a significance price difference as I read that Fraxel needs new tip head for each patient. Which of the laser I'd better undertake? I attach my scar problem pics as well. Thanks Jen

Both of these lasers can be effective when administered by an experienced provider. I encourage you to look first at the expertise and experience of the doctor you choose rather than the specific device used. In my practice, we feature more than 45 different laser devices, so we can customize treatments to the precise needs of each of our patients. If you work with a board-certified dermatologist who primarily treats skin conditions and concerns, you can rest assured you will be in good hands and enjoy an optimal outcome from your procedure.

Review coming up shortly- no comparison. I have Fraxel Dual, Repair, C and B, You Laser, Co2CORE, Profractional and many others. Fraxel RePair has its place, but not in this setting. Its like an iPhone 1 compared to the iPhone 7 of the YOULASER - your dermatologist will show you the parameters that can be controlled. Fraxel Re:Pair is outdated- and most importantly has a consumable that is NOT needed. Do I still use it? Yes, for quick single passes for chest and neck rejuvenation- consumable passed on to the patient. Far, outdated, but still useful. Not in your case. Dr Davin Lim
