Severe acne scars. What's best: Fraxel Dual, Infini, or CROSS? (Photo)

December 6, 2015
Asked By:sarahtherunner in Milford, CT

I have scars on my cheek from cystic acne that lasted ~8 mos in 2012. Last year I had 5 Dermapen treatments. Recently I finished 3 Fraxel Dual treatments. The dr. performing Fraxel recommended 6-8 total, or to switch to Infini. Not sure what to do? Can't tell if I see a difference after 3 Fraxels. Dermapen didn't give me any results. I'm also curious about CROSS technique. So far these treatments on 1 cheek have cost me thousands. I want to be sure any investment I make is the best one. Thanks!
