Active FX Vs. Fraxel Repair - What's the Difference?

October 9, 2008
Asked By:

Can you compare Lumenis Active FX and the Fraxel Repair, Which one works better on wrinkles, brown spots, skin tightening? How about pain and recovery time? Which is easier to use and less room for error? If a fractional CO2 only treats a certain % of the skin, how can it totally remove brown spots. Can it get rid of pre cancerous spots?
