think if something is really effective, don't need so many sessions one
Some only require 5-10 sessions?
But can cost up to several thousands

I guess the efficacy depends on whats your skin type and what type of laser treatment you are looking for. I dont know who actually needs 40 sessions for themselves but a 20 session course of treatment I can certainly use up. Its like buying in bulk so you get a better deal. I see my treatments more so for maintenance and my skin has pigmentation and the treatments help.
The staff explained that the 40 session package is good for friends who want to get the best deal by sharing as it works out the best on a per treatment basis.
As for other types of treatments, there are many! Just like there are may different types of laser and settings on each of the laser. The fractional lasers that have been mentioned are a more powerful laser treatment that actually removes a layer of skin and there is downtime associated with it due to the redness. You will probably be advised not to go anywhere near the sun or you will be susceptible to pigmentation. It takes longer to do and will be more painful. I wouldnt go for any treatment like this if I didnt need it because I cant stay away from the sun, but for some this treatment might be more appropriate for their skin condition than a regular laser facial which is more mild.
Carbon Laser may be more suitable for an oilier skin type and mild acne. I have tried this too when I needed it.
Intracel RF is another treatment mentioned. It is more expensive than laser and you do it in longer intervals. It uses Radio Frequency to treat acne scars, pores and wrinkles and can be done through microneedles or without the microneedles. Basically the idea is that the RF is delivered into the skin through the needles a it stimulates the collagen. I've not tried because I dont need to but I know people who have and found it to be effective for their skin condition.
So for me the approach is little and often for maintenance. Others may need more powerful and more expensive but with a longer interval.
The reason why I like Gangnam Laser is that I have never felt pressured into getting a more expensive treatment that I dont need so I trust the doctors there. My friends also go there and renew packages because it works for them too.
The best advice I can give is that you need to see the doctor for his opinion on the most appropriate way to treat your concerns regarding you skin. Not everyone has the same skin condition and hence a tailored treatment plan will be best.
