Laser rejuvenation: differences between ablative and non-ablative methods

Ablative regeneration is a method of tightening the skin with quick and visible results.

In ablation, carbon dioxide or erbium lasers are used. Light radiation affects only the upper layers of the skin up to a depth of 1 mm. This is enough to eliminate or correct skin problems.

This procedure is suitable for troubleshooting:

  • wrinkle,
  • acne scars,
  • skin tone fades,
  • static wrinkles around the eyes,
  • Some pigmentation disorders.

In addition to the lifting effect, ablative lasers can also remove or reduce stretch marks, scars and scars.

The recovery period is 5-7 days. Repeated sessions are usually not required.

Beautiful skin after non-ablative rejuvenation

In a non-ablative method, the laser causes micro-damage to stimulate collagen production. In this case, the deeper layers of the skin are affected without damaging the upper layers - the slight redness disappears within an hour. This program is suitable for those who want to:

  • Removes excess pigmentation
  • Improve facial complexion without surgery.

If you're looking for a way to rejuvenate without downtime, non-ablative laser skin tightening is the way to go.

This method has a cumulative effect - for best results, 3-4 procedures at 2-week intervals are recommended.

Which type of laser rejuvenation to choose?

The choice of method depends on age and the problem you are trying to solve. Also, as an alternative, you can try a hardware SMAS facelift.

For example, to remove fine lines or reduce post-acne scarring, ablation is suitable. For skin rejuvenation at the age of 25-35, a non-ablative method is suitable: the laser works more gently in the deeper layers of the epidermis.
