Which is better between Fraxel Repair and Pearl Laser?
A. I find that the best indication for Fraxel is to repair acne scarring, because it can go deeper if that’s required (usually NOT necessary for most patients). It requires several sessions with about 4 days of downtime. I like the Pearl laser very much because it provides new skin with just 3-4 days of social downtime and is a great texturing laser with collagen remodelling that occurs for several months after. Also, it generally requires just 1 treatment. Both are good technologies, but I prefer Pearl, unless your acne scarring is quite bad.
