Can Fraxel Repair correct burn scars from a Glycolic Acid Peel? (photos)

charisma123
Six years ago when I was 25 I foolishly used a high percentage of glycolic acid on my skin and it caused severe scarring. I have had 6 years of laser treatments at conservative levels. I plan on getting Fraxel Repair done. I have been told by several dermatologists that fillers can't work due to the nature of the scarring. The texture is different and these scars have no pores. Every time I get a treatment done the scar tissue raises and swells up. I would appreciate advice on this matter.
