Laser rejuvenation: differences between ablative and non-ablative methods

Ablative rejuvenation is a way to tighten the skin with fast and visible results.

The ablative method uses carbon dioxide or erbium laser. Light radiation acts only on the upper layers of the skin to a depth of 1 mm. This is enough to remove or correct skin problems.

The procedure is suitable for troubleshooting:

  • bore,
  • acne scars,
  • reduction of skin tone,
  • static wrinkles around the eyes,
  • some pigmentation disorders.

In addition to the lifting effect, the ablative laser allows you to remove or reduce stretch marks, scars and scars.

The rehabilitation period is 5-7 days. Repeating sessions is usually not necessary.

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

  • remove excess pigmentation
  • improve facial skin tone without surgery.

Non-ablative laser skin tightening is the right option if you are looking for a way to rejuvenate without delay.

The method has a cumulative effect - for the best result, 3-4 procedures are recommended at intervals of 2 weeks.

What type of laser rejuvenation to choose?

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

For example, an ablative method is suitable for removing fine lines or reducing acne scars. A non-ablative method is suitable for skin rejuvenation at the age of 25-35: the laser works more gently in the deep layers of the epidermis.
