Is Fractional laser or radio frequency better for fine lines and wrinkles? (Photo)

tuancnguyen77
I was told both laser and radio frequency are used to stimulate collagen. Which would be superior to treat wrinkles? Or do they do this in different ways so maybe they both can be combined? It also seems like radio frequency is more comfortable and with less downtime so I'm thinking of RF. If you had to choose one, which would it be?
