Which one's more effective? Microneedling or Fraxel Dual 1550/1927 for hyper-pigmentation on dark brown Indian skin?

Asked By:mikayla93 in Toronto, ON

I visited two different Skin Laser Clinics explaining my goal which is to get rid of hyper-pigmentation from a 70% glycolic peel chemical burn that happened 6 years ago. Also I have hyper-pigmentation from acne and dark circles. The first clinic said I my skin's too dark and micro-needling would be best. The second suggested Fraxel Dual 1550/1927 OR Micro-needling. She said that they had been using fraxel successfully on dark skinned individuals. Which one's better for the results I want?
