Full field Erbium (Sciton) laser - What is it?

CDThompson
I am 49(F) and have very oily skin. As a result, I have rough skin texture and very large pores in my t-zone so would like smoother/even skin and smaller pores. Another post on here noted “For surface texture, however, you don't want so much to 'aerate' the skin with a deeper fractional laser as you want to smooth out the entire surface ('mowing the lawn') for a polished appearance. This is best done with full field lasers, of which Erbium (Sciton) has been proven to be safer with faster healing than with CO2.” What are examples of a full field Erbium (Sciton) laser (i.e. brand name, actual laser name)?
