Fraxel 1550 Versus Starlux1540 For Scarring and Nasal Labial?

I much prefer the Fraxel 1550 for acne scars but what is really concerning me is that the doctor is not doing the actual procedure.  If your skin color is eastern asian than I would be very concerned that you may require pre-treatment before the procedure.  Please make sure you are going to a board certified dermatologist and that the doctor is performing the procedure for you.

The Fraxel Restore Laser is much faster and lays down a more concentrated and uniform laser application.  For small areas, the two lasers give very similar results.  It is more dependent on the skill of the doctor who is using the laser.  Both lasers are very good if applied correctly for a given indication.

Both lasers are similar and both can penetrate about the same distance into the skin and both have puplished reports of effective treatment for acne scars. However the Fraxel laser has much more in-depth studies of clinical use, biopsy reports and standardized treatment protocols - making it easier to duplicate the published results. However I do agree that one of the most important factors is who is actually doing the procedure, what is their experience level and depth of understanding of this treatment process.In addition the post treatment skin care regimen is critical. Products such as retinoids and growth factors can tremendously augment the results.
