Laser rejuvenation: differences between ablative and non-ablative methods

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

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

The procedure is suitable for solving problems:

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

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. Repeated sessions are usually not needed.

In the 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 ones - the slight redness disappears within an hour. The procedure is suitable for those who want:

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

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

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

What type of laser rejuvenation to choose?

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

For example, an ablative method is appropriate to remove fine lines or reduce acne scars. For skin rejuvenation at the age of 25-35 years, a non-ablative method is suitable: the laser acts more gently on the deep layers of the epidermis.
