What's better - 2 more treatments of CO2 fractional laser or 1 treatment of erbium ablative? (Photo)

I already had 1 treatment of CO2. I already got my 1 treatment of CO2 fractional laser done in sept 2021, half face was done. Now will 2 more treatments of fractional CO2 laser give me the same results as having 1 treatment of Erbium fully ablative for the upper and lower lips?
