Asked By:pamster53 in Palm Harbor, FL

I would like to know when one would need or want Fraxel to treat the whole face and when one would need or want CO2 laser treatment for same. For what is each procedure best and what is the down time for each? Does either or both treatments tighten the skin? Thank you?
