There are some obvious similarities, and the differences are very slight.
Most experts performing this procedure agree that the Co2 laser is more effective in the removal of wrinkles but leaves temporary, residual damage, such as redness and peeling, and in the long run may increase the risk of permanent of pigment loss.
Skin is a unique map of contours, complexions and colors, so everybody's reaction to these type of skin treatments are different, but most agree that the erbium YAG laser seems to leave the long-lasting redness or risk the loss of permanent pigment loss, but the again it's not as effective in removing wrinkles.
Each individual must be consulted, and weight the options themselves and find out which procedure makes sense to them.
