What is the difference between the Venus Viva and CO2RE laser treatments?

Question

I want to reduce the fine lines around my eyes, and mouth, smile lines, and improve skin texture. I am a 62-year-old female and just want to look refreshed and employable. One doctor recommended CO2 RE and another recommended 3 treatments of the Venus Viva laser. Can you explain the difference? What is the downtime for each, cost, and how long do they last?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Venus viva uses radiofrequency whereas Co2re is a fractional laser. Fraxel or Co2 are best for resurfacing and can be used at any age. I always combine lasers with microneedling/prp, Sculptra, peels and rf treatments for more robust outcomes for facial rejuvenation. We space treatments every 4-6 weeks, but will depend on healing. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
