Laser technology uses focused light energy to remove or repair damaged skin cells while promoting new collagen growth. There are two main types of laser resurfacing treatments:
- Ablative Lasers (CO₂ and Erbium Lasers)
Removes damaged outer skin layers while heating deeper layers to stimulate collagen production.
Best for deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and severe skin texture concerns.
More dramatic results but requires longer recovery time.
- Non-Ablative Lasers (Fraxel, Nd:YAG, PicoSure®)
Works beneath the skin without removing the surface layer, stimulating collagen production from within.
Best for fine lines, mild acne scars, pigmentation, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Minimal downtime but requires multiple sessions for optimal results.
Both laser types can be used individually or combined for a customized treatment approach that delivers optimal results with the right balance of effectiveness and downtime.
