Comparison Summary: The Candela QuadraLase Aesthetic Laser is a re-labeled Lasering MiXto SX laser from Italy. Importing a fractional CO2 laser represents a step backward for Candela, who has often been praised for their service expertise, mostly because of the same people who assembled their lasers also service them. Also, the cost of this laser and the annual service agreements are overpriced for the very competitive US market.
