Laser rejuvenation: differences between ablative and non-ablative methods

Ablative rejuvenation is one way to tighten the skin with quick and visible results.

The ablative method uses a carbon dioxide or erbium laser. The light radiation only affects the upper layers of the skin at a depth of up to 1 mm. This is enough to eliminate or correct skin problems.

The procedure is suitable for troubleshooting:

  • wrinkles,
  • acne scars,
  • decrease in skin tone,
  • static wrinkles around the eyes
  • certain disorders of pigment formation.

In addition to the lifting effect, the ablative laser allows the removal or reduction of stretch marks, scars and scars.

The rehabilitation period is 5-7 days. Repeated meetings are usually not required.

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

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

Non-ablative laser skin tightening is the right solution if you are looking for non-stop rejuvenation.

The method has a cumulative effect - 3-4 procedures with an interval of 2 weeks are recommended for best results.

What type of laser rejuvenation should we choose?

The choice of method depends on your age and the problems you want to solve. Alternatively, you can try a hardware SMAS facelift.

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