What is laser resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing uses concentrated beams of light to remove damaged skin layer by layer. Ablative lasers (CO2, Erbium) vaporise the outer layers, while non-ablative lasers heat the deeper layers without removing surface skin. Both stimulate collagen production and skin renewal.
What is the difference between ablative and non-ablative laser resurfacing?
Ablative lasers remove the top skin layers for dramatic results but require 1-2 weeks of downtime. Non-ablative lasers work beneath the surface with minimal downtime (1-3 days of redness). Fractional versions of both treat a grid of micro-zones, leaving surrounding tissue intact for faster healing.
What can laser resurfacing treat?
Laser resurfacing effectively treats acne scars, sun damage, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores and pigmentation. It can also improve the appearance of surgical scars and stretch marks.
How long is the recovery from laser resurfacing?
Non-ablative: 1-3 days of redness, no peeling. Ablative fractional: 5-7 days of redness, swelling and peeling. Full ablative: 10-14 days of significant downtime with oozing, crusting and peeling. Sun avoidance is critical for 4-8 weeks after any laser treatment.
Is laser resurfacing safe for darker skin tones?
Some lasers carry a higher risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation on darker skin (Fitzpatrick IV-VI). Non-ablative and fractional lasers are generally safer options. An experienced practitioner will choose the appropriate laser type and settings for your skin tone.
