IntraLase LASIK Vs Traditional LASIK

My friend just underwent lasic eye surgery but using a new technique called Intralase. She told me that intralase was better than lasik. She really couldn't explain why other than saying that intralase makes thinner cuts into the cornea. I imagine thinner the better, but can someone help explain why this is better than lasik?
