Laser Rejuvenation: The Difference Between Ablative and Non-Ablative Methods
Ablative rejuvenation is a method of skin tightening with fast and visible results.
The ablative method uses a carbon dioxide or erbium laser. Light irradiation only affects the upper layers of the skin at a depth of up to 1 mm. This is enough to eliminate or cure skin problems.

- nail acne,
- decrease in skin tone,
- static wrinkles around the eyes,
- Some disorders of pigment formation.
In addition to the lifting effect, ablative lasers allow you to remove or reduce stretch marks, scars and scars.
The rehabilitation period is 5-7 days. Repeated sessions are usually not needed.
In the non-ablative method, the laser inflicts microscopic damage to stimulate collagen production. In this case, the deeper layers of the skin are affected without damaging the upper layers – mild redness disappears within an hour. Suitable for people who want to:
- remove excess pigmentation
- Improve facial skin tone without surgery.
Non-ablative laser skin tightening is the perfect choice if you're looking for a way to rejuvenate without downtime.
The method has a cumulative effect - for the best result, 3-4 procedures are recommended with an interval of 2 weeks.
