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?

Answer: Fractional Resurfacing versus Radiofrequency Fractional laser resurfacing using the CO2 laser offers better results for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction but does have downtime which can be 7 to 10 days. RF instruments are less invasive with some redness and swelling but minimal downtime however you will not get the same degree of skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.

Answer: Laser vs. radiofrequency Thanks for your question. Both procedures might be helpful for wrinkles, but a lot depends on how much your budget allows, who is doing the procedures, and what their experience level is. I would recommend seeing an experienced board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with excellent before and after pictures for you to review and a solid plan for how many treatments might be best for you. Laser and radiofrequency are completely different types of energy and how many treatments you can afford, what your downtime capability is, and what your goals are will play into your physician's plan for you. Best of luck and see an expert!
