Fraxel Laser Vs Affirm CO2 Laser Rejuvenation?

Sutherlando123
I am a 29 year old caucasian w/minor sun spots, freckles, and wrinkles. The doctor recommended Affirm CO2 micro ablative skin rejuvenation (cost $2,000), and non ablative Fraxel therapy (3 sessions at $400 each) as a different option.I do not have large sun spots or deep wrinkles, so I am wondering whether this is the best approach and whether I am going to regret doing this so young?
