I'll be visiting Vietnam for vacation and thought I might as well get fractional laser treatment for my fine lines (while I have the time off for my skin to heal.) I looked into a dermatology clinic there and asked what kind of laser they use for fractional laser treatments. They replied that they use a machine called "Lutronic".
