What is the difference between Profactional Laser resurfacing and CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing?
Answer: Erbium vs Carbon dioxide Profractional is the trade name for scitons erbium fractional laser. There are many erbium and carbon dioxide fractional systems available. Both erbium and carbon dioxide (CO2) are considered ablative fractional devices - they differ in general by the amount of thermal damage generated. The sciton profractional is a very sophisticated erbium laser that allows the operator to determine the amount of thermal damage and downtime created. See the Sciton website at www.sciton.com for further info.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Depending on the intensity, CO2 can be the most beneficial Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Fractional CO2 wins this battle We have 3 fractional CO2 lasers, one standard CO2 laser and an erbium laser. Theoretical information is great, but look at the before and afters of both the Fraxel repair and profractional and you will see that the Fraxel repair photos are more impressive and require less treatments. In fact, the majority of patients require only one treatment with the Fraxel repair. I have posted photos of patients that I have treated so that you can review for comparison. Whatever you decide, choose a dermatologist or plastic surgeon that performs the treatment and does lots of cases. I have not seen any cases of permanent hypopigmentation with Fraxel repair, unless there was an infection or some other complication. Best, Dr. Groff
