Asked By:scubasteve in Winter Park, FL USA

Hi, I'm interested in getting some laser resurfacing done on my face and I'm thinking about going with the Pixel laser. How well does the pixel laser work on acne scarring? What's the recommended amount of times needed? Does Pixel work better than Fraxel repair?
