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

July 23, 2018
Asked By:Journey411 in California, CA

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?
