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, 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 troubleshooting:

- acne scars,
- decrease in skin tone,
- static wrinkles around the eyes,
- certain disorders of pigment formation.
In addition to the lifting effect, the ablative laser helps to remove or reduce stretch marks, scars and scars.
The rehabilitation period is 5-7 days. Repeat sessions are usually not necessary.
In the non-ablative method, the laser inflicts microdamage to stimulate collagen production. In this case, the deep layers of the skin are affected without damaging the upper layers - a slight redness disappears within an hour. The procedure is suitable for those who want:
- eliminate 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 has a cumulative effect - 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 the age and the problems you want to solve. In addition, you can also try a SMAS hardware facelift.
For example, to eliminate fine lines or reduce post-acne scars, an ablative method is suitable. For skin rejuvenation at 25-35 years, a non-ablative method is suitable: the laser acts more gently in the deep layers of the epidermis.
