Are Fraxel Restore and Elos the Same Thing?

britta daniel
I have tan, light olive skin. The laser lady said she would be doing Fraxel Laser for my sun damage and medium acne scarring. Apparently, Fraxel Restore is the correct laser for my type of skin: light olive with a tan. However, the brochure she gave me said Elos. Is this the same thing as Fraxel Restore?
