Not sure which of these two lasers to go for, been offered treatments with both. Picosure is a fairly new treatment, but apparently its more effective and has no down time. Sounds too good to be true, but there is more information regarding fraxel. Which do you think is better for treating acne scars and hyperpigmentation?

Answer: PicoSure for Acne Scarring Thank you for your question. It’s really hard to say without photos. However the PicoSure laser has been developed and approved for tattoo ink removal, acne scars and any other blemishes you dislike. The PicoSure is FDA-approved and highly effective for removing regrettable tattoos and scars. Typically, one session for the face is about 10-15 mins. I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.

Answer: PicoSure or Fraxel for acne scarring and hyperpigmentation I use both lasers and they both yield great results. It all depends on your condition. It is hard for me to tell you which one is better for you. I usually use combination of treatments to achieve best results, beside laser it is important that your provider determines other treatments that may be beneficial to you such as TCA CROSS peel, fillers, microneedling, etc. Fraxel is used for more severe acne while Picosure is used for early acne scars. Either way I would advise you to wait for newer scars to heal as much as they will before proceeding with treatments. The best advise that I can give you is to make an appointment with experienced provider and get examined so you can receive personalized treatment plan for your own condition. Good luck!
