Best Laser for skin resurfacing

Kris M. Reddy M.D., F.A.C.S. answers: What's the best laser for skin resurfacing?

My dermatologist offers a laser treatment for skin "resurfacing" which is different from the laser at my favorite medispa. Are all lasers the same? How do I make sure they use the right one?

The best laser for skin resurfacing varies depending on the skin type and the condition of the skin.  You should consider a practice that can offer a choice of lasers or that can combine different modalities to produce optimal results.
