Which would you recommend; Micro- Needling vs Fraxel?

Question

Which is best for texture, wrinkles and collagen? I've had Fraxel once a year and was wondering if micro-needling would help more.

Thank you for your question.Both treatments are great options. It is a matter of downtime that you are willing to give. Micro needing works well when growth factors are added to the procedure, and continuing a skincare regimen post treatment. To be sure, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

Medical micro-needling, when properly
done and combined with effective skin care products such as human growth-factor
serums, can give as good or better results than fractionated laser treatments and
at a fraction of the cost! Micro-needling works by stimulating the skin to trigger the release of growth factors to
create more collagen and elastic fibers, resulting in thicker, healthier looking
skin. Lasers can only work by damaging the skin to cause the same
effect.
