pros + cons review: CO2 fractional vs morpheus8

did a deep read because my dermatologist proposed either for mild texture + a scar. summary for anyone in the same boat: CO2: more downtime (5-7d visible), more dramatic single-session improvement, higher risk on darker skin, typically pricier per session. morpheus8: shorter downtime, multiple sessions required, safer across skin tones, more expensive in total if you do the full series. i went morpheus. 3 sessions so far, modest steady improvement. i would have been anxious about the CO2 downtime.
