Can I Use Fraxel for New Scars?

Doctor_canada2009
I had an indurated, raised, red scar resulted from skin exicison. My plastic surgeon told me that using CO2 ablative laser after 6-8 weeks is recommended. Can I use Fraxel or my surgeon meant the ablative traditional CO2 laser? Does Fraxel work on newly formed scar to make them fade out?
