Smartxide Dot Therapy Vs Laser Gensesis

Which between Smartxide Dot Therapy and Laser Genesis will give me better results? I am 39 with severe sun damage, wrinkles, uneven texture, and have very fair, sensitive skin.

Smartxide vs Laser Genesis...I like the CO2!

These two lasers work very differently, with the DOT an ablative fractional CO2 laser and the Genesis being a nonablative 1064.  The downtime with the DOT will be longer, but will give you a much better result with the wrinkles, as CO2 is the only laser that remodels collagen.  With the sensitive skin, make sure you are careful with post laser care and creams.  I would bet that these two lasers would complement each other well, see if you can work out a deal on both! more

Smartxide Dot Therapy Vs Laser Gensesis

SmartXide Dot Laser is a fractional CO2 laser. It is an ablative laser. It is very effective in treating wrinkles, pigmentation, dull tone and texture of the face. Laser Genesis is a non-ablative laser. It requires many session, and each session could take a long time. It is good for minimal sun damage and pores. I have used both and hands down for great results, SmartXide CO2 laser is the way to go.
