When Would You Choose Fraxcel Co2 and when Would Use Venus Freeze to Eliminate Wrinkles?

Question

Kimberly Finder, MD · Answer

The answer to this question is that it depends. It's not as simple as choosing Fraxel CO2 vs Venus. There are many choices, and there are many factors to consider:

	
		type of wrinkles: fine and superficial, or coarse and deeper
	
		location: face or neck or both
	
		even on the face, the specific location: primarily eyes, or around the mouth, or all over the face
	
		skin type, that is, the skin color
	
		age of the patient
	
		tolerance for discomfort
	
		amount of downtime available


	The best way to find out how best to treat wrinkles is to have a face-to-face consultation with an experienced physician who can give you a thorough explanation of the choices.

Peter J. Malouf, DO · Answer

Well, I would choose neither.  The venus freeze is a non ablative technology and I have not seen any predictable results for wrinkling with the device.

	If you have the right skin type and downtime tolerance, I would highly reccomend Fractional C02 with more agressive settings.
