2 ttypes of laser : Depending on your skin color, texture, pigmentation & wrinkles, there are different laser options. A non-ablative fractionated laser like the fraxel re:store or dual has no downtime, but requires multiple treatments. It has little pain and only topical numbing cream. A fractionated co2 laser is more aggressive with a week downtime & may give faster results, but numbing block injections needed.
