Preventing PIH After Fraxel Restore or Repair

Lin in MA
Have there been any statistics released on the percentage of patients that end up with PIH after Fraxel Restore or Fraxel Repair? Is there anything that can be done either prior to Fraxel or after that can reduce PIH? Does PIH occur more in patients getting restore versus repair? I know that there are creams that can be used if PIH occurs but what if anything can be done to prevent it in the first place?
