Ablative laser treatments use an intense wavelength of light to remove the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heat the underlying skin (dermis) to stimulate the growth of new collagen fibres.
Types of ablative treatments include the CO2 and Erbium YAG laser. As the skin heals and regrows, the treated area appears noticeably smoother and tighter.
Types of ablative lasers include carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers, erbium lasers and combination systems. Nonablative laser or light source. This method also stimulates collagen growth. It’s less aggressive than an ablative laser and results in a shorter recovery time.
