I have tried the regular Fraxel and the results are good, but I heard of this new invention, Fraxel Repair, where you undergo the treatment once and get amazing results. My main concern is finding out which would be better for acne scars--the regular Fraxel or Fraxel Repair? Thanks.

Answer: Fraxel Repair or Restore for Acne Scars Fraxel repair is a CO2 based laser which is much more aggressive than the Fraxel restore. Most patients prefer the Fraxel restore since there is not much down time and the results improve with each session. I typically will do 5 sessions for acne scars and find the collagen is still building with new collagen formation several months later. For the best results please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with Fraxel.

Answer: Fraxel Repair for Acne Scars Thank you for your question. At my practice, I have gotten excellent results for scarring with Fraxel Repair. This treatment eliminates irregular skin discoloration, and stimulates new collagen production, tightening the skin without prolonged recovery. After a series of 2 to 4 Fraxel treatments, the cumulative cosmetic improvement is near more aggressive lasers, but unlike more aggressive lasers, redness and swelling eliminated within 2 to 4 days after each treatment. Fraxel is outstanding for fine wrinkles, mild skin laxity, irregular pigmentation, acne scars, surgical scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, age spots and Rosacea. It can be used safely on the face, neck, hands, arms, and chest.
