Laser rejuvenation: differences between ablative and non-ablative methods
Ablative rejuvenation is a way to tighten the skin with fast and visible results.
In the ablative method, carbon dioxide or erbium laser is used. 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 pigmentation disorders.
In addition to the lifting effect, the ablative laser allows you to eliminate or reduce stretch marks, scars and scars.
The rehabilitation period is 5-7 days. Repeat sessions are not usually necessary.
In the non-ablative method, the laser inflicts micro-damages to stimulate collagen production. In this case, the deep layers of the skin are affected without damaging the upper ones - within an hour, slight redness disappears. The procedure is suitable for those who want:
- remove excessive pigmentation
- Improve facial skin tone without surgery.
If you are looking for a way to rejuvenate without downtime, non-ablative laser skin tightening is the right option.
The method has a cumulative effect - for the best result, 3-4 procedures are recommended with an interval of 2 weeks.
Which type of laser rejuvenation should be chosen?
The choice of method depends on the age and the problems you want to solve. Alternatively, you can try a hardware SMAS face lift.
For example, an ablative method is suitable for removing fine wrinkles or reducing post-acne scars. For skin rejuvenation at the age of 25-35, a non-ablative method is suitable: the laser acts more gently on the deep layers of the epidermis.
