Laser rejuvenation: differences between ablative and non-ablative methods
Ablative rejuvenation is a way to tighten skin with quick and visible results.
The ablative procedure uses a carbon dioxide or erbium laser. Light radiation affects only 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,
- some disorders of pigment formation.
In addition to the lifting effect, you can use the ablative laser to remove or reduce stretch marks, scars and scars.
The rehabilitation period is 5-7 days. Repeat sessions are usually not required.
In the non-ablative method, the laser inflicts micro damage to stimulate collagen production. The deep layers of the skin are affected without damaging the upper layers - slight redness disappears within an hour. The procedure is suitable for those who want:
- 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 downtime.
The method works cumulatively - for the best result, 3-4 procedures are recommended with an interval of 2 weeks.
Which type of laser rejuvenation to choose?
The choice of method depends on age and what problems you want to solve. Alternatively, you can also try a hardware SMAS facelift.
An ablative method is suitable for removing fine lines or reducing acne scars, for example. A 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.
