Gentlemax Pro vs CO2 for clearer skin?

Lasers are used for various purposes.  Co2 laser helps for resurfacing wrinkles and improves pores, sun spots and texture, but doesn't help tighten or lift the skin which requires other treatments.  Please see a cosmetic dermatologist that will develop a treatment plan for the best combination treatments.  Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question.  CO2 is an ablative laser and will help to tighten to skin additionally it will help with mild discoloration that is superficial by sloughing.  It will have no effect on redness as its target is water not blood.  For vascularity/dyschomia and skin clarity we have found the Cutera Excel V (set to red/brown dyschromia) stacked with Laser Genesis yields superior results to anything currently on the market.  The Excel V is the new gold standard 532 KTP laser for redness - having surpassed the Pulsed Dye laser in the past few years for efficacy and time to treatment.  The stacked Excel V/Genesis treatment will likely take 1-3 treatments and pricing per treatment should be similar to the gentlemax pro.  Regards, Dr. Matt Elias
