Is it possible to achieve beautiful and toned skin without scars and pigmentation? Perhaps. Ever since the laser machine has been used in cosmetology.
There are ablative and non-ablative methods for laser rejuvenation - everyone solves their skin problems. Which method to choose, read the article.
Laser rejuvenation: differences between ablative and non-ablative methods
Ablative rejuvenation is a way to tighten the skin with fast and visible results.
The ablative method uses carbon dioxide or erbium laser. Light radiation affects only the upper layers of the skin to a depth of 1 mm. This is enough to eliminate or correct skin problems.
The procedure is suitable for troubleshooting:
- wrinkles,
- acne scars
- reduction of 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 necessary.
In the non-ablative method, the laser causes microdamages to stimulate collagen production. In this case, the deep layers of the skin are affected without damaging the upper ones - a slight redness disappears within an hour. The procedure is suitable for those who want to:
- removal of excess pigmentation
- improving 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 age and what problems you want to solve. Alternatively, you can try a hardware SMAS facelift.
For example, an ablative method is appropriate to remove fine lines or reduce acne scars. A non-ablative method is suitable for rejuvenating the skin aged 25-35 years: the laser acts more gently in the deep layers of the epidermis.
