Fractional CO2 laser

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
I watched the video.
You want to rejuvenate your face and have a doubt regarding fractional CO2 or dermabrasion.
In your case fractional CO2 would be a better option.
It can resurface your face.
Dermabrasion takes lot of time and is good only for superficial scars.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
