Ebrium Laser Resurfacing Vs Co2 Laser Resurfacing?

September 5, 2012
Asked By:nyc13

I am planning to get one of these treatments, to treat my acne scars, sun damage/uneven tan. I would consider the degree of my skin condition as moderate acne scar and sun damage. My question is which of these two lasers will get the job done effectively and significantly. What are the pros and cons of each? I heard that erbium laser is more effective and less risky than co2 laser (as co2 can cause bleaching). What is the typical price range of each. Thanks
