There are three types of Fraxel lasers on the market. For acne scarring you'd be using either the Fraxel Repair (most aggressive Fraxel) or the Fraxel Restore (less aggressive and less downtime). Both of these will offer improvement, but always remember acne scars are best treated with a series of treatments. Generally speaking, laser treatments are going to be more aggressive than needling procedures. Good luck, Dr. M

See this Youtube Video for an explanation. I always approach scars based upon the scar type, then find a treatment that suits them. Yes, Fraxel can help, but a targeted approach will give you the very best results. RegardsDr Davin LimLaser and aesthetics Brisbane, Australia.
