Ablative and Nonablative Laser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we jump into the heart of this blog, let\u2019s explore the 2 types of lasers \u2013 Ablative Laser and Nonablative Laser<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both types of lasers significantly improve the skin\u2019s texture and appearance. But how do they differ? Starting off with ablative laser, which precisely removes the skin\u2019s outer layer (a.k.a. epidermis) and stimulates the skin to heal, forming a new skin surface that\u2019s plump and smooth.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re in your mid-to-late 20s, you have probably begun to experience aging skin and stiff joints due to your body\u2019s natural reduction of collagen production. With nonablative laser skin resurfacing, the second layer of the skin (a.k.a. dermis) is heated, stimulating more collagen production. It also doesn\u2019t destroy the outer layer of the skin, making it less invasive than ablative laser skin resurfacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
