Laser rejuvenation: the difference between ablative and non-ablative methods
Ablative rejuvenation is a way of tightening the skin with fast and visible results.
In the ablative method, a carbon dioxide or erbium laser is used. Light radiation affects only the top layer of skin at a depth of up to 1 mm. This is enough to eliminate or improve skin problems.
This procedure is suitable for troubleshooting:
- wrinkles,
- acne scars,
- skin discoloration,
- static wrinkles around the eyes,
- some pigmentary disorders.
In addition to the lifting effect, ablative lasers allow you to remove or reduce stretch marks, scars, and scars.
The rehabilitation period is 5-7 days. A re-session is usually not required.
In the non-ablative method, the laser inflicts microdamage to stimulate collagen production. In this case, the deep layers of the skin are affected without damaging the top layer - the slight redness disappears within an hour. This procedure is suitable for those who want to:
- remove excess pigmentation
- improve facial skin tone without surgery.
Non-ablative laser skin tightening is a great choice if you are looking for a way to rejuvenate without downtime.
This method has a cumulative effect - for best results, 3-4 procedures are recommended with an interval of 2 weeks.
Which type of laser rejuvenation to choose?
The choice of method depends on your age and what problem you want to solve. Also, alternatively, you can try the hardware SMAS facelift.
For example, to remove fine wrinkles or reduce acne scars, ablative methods are suitable. For skin rejuvenation at the age of 25-35, non-ablative methods are suitable: the laser acts more gently on the deep layers of the epidermis.
