Comparisons
Compare CO₂ lasers on facts.
A useful comparison rests on verifiable sources. Here is our method, the criteria that matter and Alexa CO₂’s verified facts — with the questions to ask the other vendor.
Comparison grid
How to compare any two fractional CO₂ lasers.
Alexa column: verified facts only. Right column: what to ask the other vendor, in writing.

|---|---|---|
| Wavelength | 10,600 nm CO₂ | What wavelength and what source type? |
| Treatment modes | Fractional and ablative | Are fractional and ablative both available on the same device? |
| Beam delivery | 7-joint articulated arm, 130 cm radius | Articulated arm, hollow waveguide or other? What maintenance? |
| Scanner | Scan field up to 30 mm; customizable shapes | What exact scan dimensions and shapes? |
| Power | 40 W (Alexa Aesthetic) or 60 W (Alexa Pro MVP 7) | What power for which configuration and price? |
| Emission modes | Continuous, pulsed and superpulse (40 W) | Which emission modes and ranges? |

Methodology
Our comparison rules.
Manufacturer sources only
Every competitor fact comes from the manufacturer’s official documentation — never a forum or hearsay.
Source URLs stored
Every claim is linked to its source URL, published with the comparison.
Verification date
Every comparison states the date its facts were verified.
Nothing invented
No price, warranty or pulse specification is published without a verifiable source.
No disparagement
We describe differences factually; we do not call other systems unsafe or inferior.
Coming comparisons
In verification.
These comparisons will be published once every fact has been verified against manufacturer sources. No data on these systems is published until then.

FAQ
Comparison questions
Why are detailed comparisons not published yet?
Because every competitor fact must be verified against the manufacturer’s documentation, with its source and date. Until then, we publish the method and the questions to ask instead.
Can I get a comparison for the device I am evaluating?
Yes. Name the device in your pricing request; a product specialist will respond based on the documentation you received from the other vendor.
Is price the best comparison criterion?
It is one of several. Compare total cost of ownership: configuration, handpieces, consumables, training, service, warranty and financing.
