Are Patients with Thin Skin Bad Candidates for Fraxel Restore?

testingthewaters
I'm concerned that having thin skin that I would be a bad candidate for Fraxel (increased risk of scarring, penetration of laser too deep). How do you measure skin thickness and consequently know what the settings required for Fraxel Restore are?
