There are so many lasers out there now and everyone claims to have the best and most innovative technique to help your skin.
What is the Truth?
Well, according to most physicians and industry experts, there has yet to be a laser that has emerged as the leader in the fractional co2 laser resurfacing arena. The hottest and most popular CO2 devices are the: SmartXide Dot Co2 laser, Ellipse Juvia Fractional Co2 Laser, Reliant Fraxel Re:pair Co2 Laser, and the Lumenis Active FX Fractional Co2 laser. Each of these lasers differ slightly from the others but they all can provide great results. Physicians continue to argue and debate over the efficacy of their device but few of them will admit that much of the difference lies in their hands. The outcome of any device is largely dependent upon how skilled the physician is with their device.
It is so important that patients see Fractional specialists who have a proven track record of great results with the latest technology. Odds are, if your physician is well versed in the other laser technologies such as Fraxel or Traditional Co2 resurfacing, then they should be able to perform the fractional laser without any issues. You still have to do your homework and have realistic expectations of the results you can expect to see. You should do your research on the laser he or she will be using and more importantly do your research on the person who will be doing the procedure.
