I am planning on having skin resurfacing done. I am 45 with lax skin and a few acne scars, jowls. My goal is skin tightening (within reason), skin rejuvenation, and just overall healthier look. I have been to 2 doctors- one said he would use the Active FX (this is his strongest laser) and the other suggested Fraxel repair (i have had 2 fraxel restore with some improvement). Which of these two treatments is the most aggressive? What is the typical price point for them, if you know?

Answer: There is no best laser for laser resurfacing
There is no "best" laser for facial resurfacing. IMHO, it is more important to choose a well-trained expenienced surgeon for this technique than for seeking out the lastest, most hyped and marketed, and expensive laser. The same results can be achieved with judicious use of chemical peels as with the most expensive laser tecnique. Take a look at the results and photos of the Hetter Facial Resurfacing Procedure that I have on my website. I am absolutely certain that these results would compare favorably to any laser out there!

Answer: Many Lasers to Choose from for rejuvenation If you are looking for tightening and rejuvination, I do not think that Fraxel is the correct choice. Depending on your need for wrinkle correction, you may need a more invasive laser with a deeper peel. I would recommend either CO2, Erbium/Yag, or Pearl lasers. These will cover all of the points that you are interested in addressing, each with their own positives and negatives and unique downtimes.
