Ablative and non-ablative lasers are both used in cosmetic procedures like skin resurfacing, but they differ in how they interact with the skin.
Ablative lasers vaporize and remove the outer layer of skin to improve texture and appearance while simultaneously heating the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production. While ablative lasers are more invasive than non-ablative laser treatments, they can achieve dramatic improvements. They treat many skin conditions such as wrinkles, laxity, acne scars, pigmentation, sun damage, and pre-cancerous lesions.
Non-ablative lasers heat the underlying skin to stimulate collagen production without warming or damaging the surface. These lasers are typically gentler than ablative lasers as they leave the skin intact, yet are still very effective. Non-ablative lasers are best for improving skin texture and tone, fine lines, mild wrinkles and pigmentation issues.
