Fractional taper and DOT - comparison characteristics
As they say in numerous reviews - to each their own - some Fractional Rejuvenation and some DOT. For example, someone managed to solve the problem of acne with the help of DOT, and someone with the same problem was helped by a laser. Not only does the laser itself play an important role, but also the quality of the preliminary diagnostics and the qualifications and experience of the beautician.
If a cosmetologist has been engaged in laser cosmetics for a long time, he will first tell you what is more suitable for you to solve your specific problem, and then competently perform the appropriate number of procedures - and it does not matter whether it is fractional rejuvenation or DOT -The main thing is the result. And if the cosmetologist is not experienced and attentive enough, then in case of not quite right choice, the same fractional rejuvenation can be less effective and more expensive than DOT, which such a cosmetologist carelessly ignored.
