How Ablative Laser Resurfacing Works?
All lasers work by producing a single wavelength (color) of light that is very intense. In essence the laser produces a controlled injury to the skin that involves just the right amount of damage to encourage new cells to grow and heal the injury. The ablative laser injures the top layers of the skin and allows for healing of superficial problems due to photo aging (sun damage) or chronological aging. Unlike ablative resurfacing, non ablative laser surgery , offers a much deeper treatment for such problems as collapsed blood vessels, deep scarring or tattoo removal. Usually your doctor will select the most appropriate type of treatment for you.
