Yeah it would be the same. Cynosure makes great machines, they have the Elite which is an Alex/Yag and Elite MPX which is also Alex/Yag but has a larger 18mm spot size as well as dual mode where it fires alex/yag together.
It’s painful because it’s an alexandrite which is the best type of laser for skin types 1-3, but having the Yag allows it to treat all skin tones. It uses cold all chilling to cool the area. Laser isn’t pain free so you can’t choose a clinic based on whether it hurts!
