Yup. Considering you can get a Tria for around $500. It will take longer with a home laser, but after - you still have a laser.
As a veteran of both home laser (wildly successful for some issues) and professional Fraxel treatments ( successful for some pigmentation issues - but NOT wrinkles of any sort) my choice would be home laser. Just to be clear I use ReAura and the lower intensity but higher freqency treatments have been in my case more effective than the sets of 4 professional treatments I used to buy.
For wrinkles and skin tightening I think derma pen works better, fractional laser works best on pigmentation. I wish I could report otherwise, but that is my experiential conclusion.
Like most of us here, I feel certain that you are willing to commit to a certain # of hours to achieve your goal, and that can be done by yourself, at home.
I had the old CO2 laser back in the day, and that really was worth the professional cost - skin like a baby's bottom after and that effect lasted quite a long time. but I do not think this offered anymore. I had a chat with my PS and he agreed with me: fractional laser had fewer immediate downtime days, but you need several treatments, and the total time would be about the same or less with an ablative laser.
It would be nice to think that going to a doctor's office for a procedure would be more effective, but in this case, I say save your money and invest your own time. Just my opinion and experience, of course. Yours may be different. |
