I'm considering either Fraxel (1x) or Clear & Brilliant (3x). The costs are $975 for one Fraxel treatment, or $745 (I think?) for 3 C&B treatments. I have mild to moderate acne scarring. I wish I had a photo. I don't have pock marks, just some light to moderate brown spots where the acne was, and mostly on one side of my face (not that it matters where they were, I guess).

Thoughts? What kind of downtime did you experience, if you had either? Did you need to take time off work? Do you feel it made a significant difference/was it worth your money? Was it painful or did it cause any awful side effects?

I'm leaning more towards Fraxel, if it means I can just have one treatment and be done with it. Please let me know what you think.
