Acne Scarring and Active Fx vs Fraxel

I have had about four fraxel treatments. There are improvements, although small, with each one. Will Active FX give me better results, or Fraxel repair?
Could you rate all three in terms of effectiveness for acne scarring? Thanks.
Last question - what should I expect to pay for Active FX from the eyes down, i.e. under eyes, all cheek area and around the mouth? Thanks.


hi gita,
i think that yes, total fx (a combination of active and deep fx) will give you better results than fraxel for acne scars. it is more intense and the results are better.
of course the downtime is about a week for active / total fx, but the results are worth it. there is not much difference between active fx and fraxel re:pair, so it doesn't much matter which one is used.
prices vary depending on where you get it done. i would charge about $2750 for a full face active fx, $3250 for total. with the discount that we have going now, the total fx comes out to cost $2750.
