Hi T,You again, only one question per day per costumer!It should not be a problem having subcision and Fraxel re:store on the same day, oblviously discuss this with your treating physician.Be well.Dr. P

Hi Vin, Fraxel re:store is less aggressive with almost no chance of scarring with the series of treatments. Fraxel re:pair (fractionated CO2 laser) is more aggressive and treats acne scarring more effectively. There is increased chance of scarring with more aggressive treatments, but it is very...
