hi dear colleagues
I want to share with my experience
after 2 years to find a solution for me finally before 6 months i bought two laser from seoul
one diode laser (like soprano) and one fractional co2.
now after 6 months i am totally happy because i think i made the most clever buy
i have wonderful results with little money
and really my laser are like other very very expensive laser
i tasted any laser before and really i think that you must think seriously about koeran laser
i am from europe
the only problem is that sometimes i dont have scientific support from my company and this is only the problem
ok they gave protocols etc but they didnt gave contact emails from other doctors.
also i take the risk to import two machines and if i have technical problem i must ship maybe the machines in korea
but diode laser are very stable
and co2 laser too
byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
dear colleagues

Glad you have made such good decision.How about your professional insurance? Can you get any insurance coverage if the lasers are not approved by FDA or your local authorities?

dear bryan
my laser system have ce mark and I have not problem with local authorities in europe.
I dont know if my laser are fda aprroved.

not many lasers from korea have FDA approval. There are a lot of korean laser distributor in Malaysia.
Indeed some brand are better than the other. I dont own any korean laser , but the issue regarding korean laser vs FDA approved lasers is the stability of the power delivered after some time you use the lasers. meaning after a while , the power you deliver might not be the same as what the monitor shows . But then , if you have limited budget , their machine still deliver the works

I dont have limited budget but i Cant understand why i must pay for a fractional co2 100.000 dollars
why...before fractional technology the laser co2 were so cheap and now only with a simple scanner the cost is too high
why when i buy a mercedes or a porche i pay around 70.000 euro and for a laser i must pay too much money?
and really i disaggre totally with opinion for the power of korean laser...how do you say something like it?could you tell me which companies have these kind of machine?and if anyone has these machines to give us a reply?
really could you ask yourselves about the truth of many many articles from dermatologists very famous who before some years said for other american machines which were magig and did everything...now where are these machines ?where are the results?
i am waiting your replies and after many replies I will say something for a big company and how they managed finally to tell lies.(i think that this company is very reliable and it has very good machines but ok...marketing is really not very true)

Please do not get me wrong that Korean Lasers are not good. I am just wondering the same too, as I am in the market to get a co2 fractional laser. I want the sellas or the handsome Thermoxel from CICU. But health authorities just wont allow us to do so. The cost of such lasers are half the price the other laser companies asking.

i think that you understand that i am from korea or a owner of laser company but now you mentioned my favourite laser
my laser cicu
i have cicu.thermoxel is from another company and it is older model.both of them are very nice but cicu is really impressive...is a small lumenis co2 and i think that cicu has the best design of co2 laser in the market.
i am available to say you all the advantages and disadvantages of cicu because any machine has some disadvantages maybe.
please tell me your email if you want to have communication

Dear mc clever ,
I have no doubt that CICU is a good Fractional CO2 lasers. Although it is 20% cheaper than the SmartXide , i opt for SmartXide because of the post sales services are better in terms of support training and material. I think in the end we just have to see the whole package and what suits us best.

oh about the less stable "power" over the time , this is a comment from few of my colleague who have use the lasers for sometime. But I guess..as time goes by , for sure the company have improved the technology.

i cant disclosure the price of cicu
but really is more cheaper and because I know smartxide i think that cicu is superior than smartxide
it has better design and very very good construction and reliable
regarding the scientific support i think that it is very easy to use any article for journals and simply you can apply then the right settings although my company provide me some protocols
