What is
Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing can be of two types, ablative or Non ablative. Non-ablative laser is less aggressive approach where collagen growth stimulation happens, and procedure has a shorter recovery or down-time, but also results are less noticeable. Ablative lasers are more aggressive and hence all are not suitable candidates.
Ablative lasers can remove thin outer layer of skin (epidermis) and cause heating of dermis, the inner layer of skin. The procedure has a considerable down time but results are more dramatic and long lasting. Different lasers can be used, like CO2 laser or ErYag laser or NdYag.
What it treats
Ablative lasers can effectively reduce and improve upon fine lines, dispigmentation, damaged or poor textured skin, wrinkles, age sppots, mild to moderate acne scars and cause overall skin health improvement. Non ablative skin resurfacing also produces similar results in a more subtle way with less downtime.
