Fraxel Laser Vs. Fractional Laser?

September 23, 2008
Asked By:gaby65 in The Netherlands

I have an appointment for a treatment for my face with the fractional laser (for fine lines,etc). Can someone tell me what the difference is between the Fraxel and fractional? What is the downtime after 1 treatment with the fractional (will I have a red face for a long time?) and can someone share his/hers experiences with me because this laser is very new in Holland, so there are less reviews about it. Hope to hear from you. Thanks, Gaby
