Profractional works great especially when combined with Microlaser peel
Great question. I have been using both lasers for several years and they work great together. The profracional goes deeper and the Microlaser Peel treated some of the surface discolorations. Be sure to get on a good skin care program and wear your sunscreen!!

Profractional for lines around eyes and lips
Using the profractional laser to remove lines around the eyes and lips is a very common treatment in my practice.

The key is to appropriately treat at appropriate settings with the right downtime and healing time .
