The short answer is not a lot. Your results with a fractional laser resurfacing procedure are more highly influenced by the person using the laser than the laser itself. With that said, there are minor differences in the power of the lasers as well as the size and depth of the perforations they create in the skin.

Rather than focusing on price, ask the practitioner you are speaking with to see before and after pictures of their OWN patients that prove they can do what they claim. Good luck.
