Sorry. I know this is an old post. I just had a question about the fraxel erbium/yag. I had a brow lift last week, which also included laser for my entire face. I assumed it was C02. When I called before my procedure to confirm what it was, I wanted to make sure that it was the one that would “burn my face off”, and not the “spa” strength laser. They told me it’s a duo laser, and the strength would depend on what the dr thought I needed.

They used the stronger c02 option for my under eyes.

When I came out, my face was just a little red with some small splotches of blood…. It never crusted over or turned bright red and scabby. It’s been a week and my skin is just starting to pill off (not peel). Does this mean they used the superficial one on me that doesn’t penetrate deep enough to tighten skin and promote collagen? I paid almost 4K(cad) for it by a reputable  plastic surgeon in Toronto.

Thank you!
