Types of Laser Skin Resurfacing

Ablative Laser Resurfacing

  • Uses high-energy lasers like CO2 and Erbium to remove outer skin layers.
  • Best for deep wrinkles, scars, and severe sun damage.
  • Requires a longer recovery period (7-10 days) but offers dramatic results.

Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing

  • Uses lasers like Fraxel and Nd:YAG to stimulate collagen production without damaging the skin’s surface.
  • Best for mild to moderate wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentation.
  • Minimal downtime, with gradual improvements over multiple sessions.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing

  • Breaks laser energy into tiny beams to target damaged skin while leaving surrounding skin intact.
  • Best for acne scars, fine lines, and sun-damaged skin.
  • Faster healing with less downtime compared to traditional ablative lasers.
