Which laser would be best for wrinkles?

i am a retired cardiologist interested in laser therapy to the face for wrinkles i enjoyed reading your review of laser therapies can you compare the dexta smartxide to the sciton profractional laser i understand one is co2 based and the other is erbium based i also realize the experience of the operator is important too can you compare theses 2 laser's is there something better since your last review? thank you mark ____.

Hello doctor   –  regarding those two lasers, either would do an excellent job.  Even though one is an erbium, it’s an erbium that may give results that are similar to the CO2 depending on the settings used.

In my opinion, there have been no significant advances since these more versatile, powerful, fractional laser were developed for sun damaged and aging skin.

Hope this helps,  Dr. I

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
