Fraxel vs Photodynamic Therapy: Which is better for acne/acne scars?

I use a number of technologies for acne and acne scars. Of the two you asked about, I see Fraxel as best for acne scars because it targets collagen and is best when the active acne is controlled. I see PDT for active acne because it targets the bacteria. Another option is Cooltouch laser which uses laser energy to target both the collagen and the oil gland to improve both acne and scars. It is great for all skin types. Finally, Isolaz uses pnuematic suction to debride the oils and dead skin cells out of the pores, blue light to kill bacteria, and IPL to improve redness. Please speak to an experience board certified dermatologist who uses and understands these technologies for best results. Go to www.drmarylupo.com for more info.

For your active acne, you should try the Aesthera Isolaz. It is a non-invasive, non medication therapy that is great for clearing all types of acne in all skin type individuals. This is newer technology which saves you the danger of tetracycline medications: tetracyclines have been implicated increasing breast cancer in females given the drug for acne.

Since you are Hispanic, I would not recommend photodynamic therapy. For your scarring, Fraxel is fine, and can be done on Hispanic skin with proper preparation. Find a doctor with experience in treating ethnic skin types, and ask to see photos.
