Which laser is the best?
Barbara writes, “I was told by one dermatologist that a Genisys and Titan lasers together would give me the same results as a CO2 laser. Then I was told by a plastic surgeon that has the CO2 laser that I will not get the smoothness from the others as I would from the CO2 laser. Can I have your honest opinion?
Here are few things to think about:
- What lasers does this dermatologist have? Typically any clinic will push and praise the equipment that they have — if he is singing the praises of what he has, it has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Similarly, the plastic surgeon will praise the CO2 laser because that is what he has.
- Since the dermatologist is the one who has actually examined you, he is in a better position to recommend what you need (and my advice will be impossible in that case) but it does not hurt to get a second or even a third opinion in case you are in doubt or suspect that you are not getting a fair recommendation.
- A CO2 laser is a more time-tested technology and gives more smooth skin but it does not produce the level of firmness that a Titan can. The Genisys laser is a relatively new technology and I have not heard anything about it other than the marketing pitch from the manufacturer. We will have to wait for enough people to have this treatment.
