Is Fraxel Dual 1550 More Painful (Hence Longer Healing Time) Than 1927?

matusik
Hi, I had FRAXEL DUAL 1927 about 6 weeks ago. It was my melasma and it improved it by about 40%. I was told I would probably require 2-3 treatments. I am considering to do a second one. I am getting married in August and would like to have a good skin but I am confused whether to do the combination of 1927 and 1550 at the same time because I have some acne scarring that I would love to get rid of. Does 1550 hurt more? I am under impression it goes deeper. Does it mean longer healing? Thank u.
