Understanding Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment Types
Early laser skin treatments, depending on the type, were often limited in their candidate compatibility. Advanced laser platforms that have adjustable treatment settings like the UltraPulse CO₂ have made laser skin resurfacing suitable for a wider range of skin types and color tones. To help understand the different types, here is an overview of laser skin resurfacing options:
- Non-Ablative Lasers: heat deeper layers without damaging skin surface; minimal downtime
- Ablative Lasers: remove outer layers for dramatic results, requires longer recovery
- Sub-Ablative Lasers: moderate resurfacing; less downtime
- Fractional Lasers: micro-damage for rapid and effective regeneration
- Non-Fractional Laser Peels: full-surface treatment for more intensive results
