I'm interested tightening my facial skin and my doc recommended CO2 lasers. What are the different types and which are best for tightening the face? My friend had either Total FX or Active Fx and said it was one of the most painful experiences; felt like an icepick stabbing her face. She had a nerve block & local anesthesia, is there another option for the pain? I'm very scared. It didn't really tighten her skin at all either. Are there better and less painful options? Thank you.
