Is it possible to get beautiful and toned skin without scars and pigmentation? Can be. Because the laser machine is used in cosmetology.
There are ablative and non-ablative methods of laser rejuvenation - each solves its own skin problems. Whichever method you choose, read the article.
Laser rejuvenation: differences between ablative and non-ablative methods
Ablative rejuvenation is a method of tightening the skin with quick and visible results.
The ablative method uses a 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,
- 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 necessary.
In a non-ablative way, the laser inflicts micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production. In this case, the deeper layers of the skin are affected without damaging the upper layers - the slight redness disappears within an hour. The procedure is suitable for those who want:
- remove excess pigmentation
- improve facial skin tone without surgery.
Skin tightening with a non-ablative laser is the right choice if you are looking for a way to rejuvenate without stopping.
The method has a cumulative effect - 3-4 procedures with an interval of 2 weeks are recommended for best results.
What type of laser rejuvenation should I choose?
The choice of method depends on your age and what problems you want to solve. Also, alternatively, you can try the hardware SMAS facelift.
For example, an ablative method is suitable to remove fine wrinkles or reduce post-acne scars. At the age of 25-35, a non-ablative method is suitable for skin rejuvenation: the laser moves more gently in the deeper layers of the epidermis.
