Fraxel Repair vs Pearl Laser for acne scars?
A. Both Pearl and Fraxel give good results for scarring. I recommend Pearl for superficial scarring and Fraxel CO2 for deep scarring. The new Pearl fractional provides significant improvement. The advantage of Pearl is less discomfort and faster recovery and the need to do it only once or twice. The CO2 laser builds more collagen deeply, but generally requires more treatments with a somewhat longer recovery. Again, I would decide based on depth and extent of scarring and your goals. Have an evauation by experienced physicians offering both. Good luck.
