Is fraxel repair a co2 laser? i'm confused about the whole fraxel differences.

Either one: There is a fraxel erbium laser and co2 laser.Fraxel means that liitle holes are created in your skin by the laser surrounded by normal skin. This way the skin heals faster than with the older erbium or co2 lasers where the entire surface of the skin was removed.While these lasers gave excellent results in wrinkling there was a high risk of infection, prolonged redness and delayed lightening of ski.

Yes: Fraxel is a co2 laser. The manufacturer states they developed a process safer than other lasers called "fractional photothermolysis" which treats very small areas resulting in less surrounding tissue damage. This, in turn, according to the manufacturer, is less painful with a quicker recovery. Part of the confusion lies in the fact that there are 3 models of fraxel machines, each different.
