Erbium vs CO2 Laser Resurfacing
What is the Difference Between Ablative and Non-Ablative Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments?
Ablative Laser Resurfacing
Targets: Deep wrinkles, scars, uneven skin texture, and age spots.
Benefits: Dramatic results with significant improvement in skin texture and tone.
Considerations: Requires removing the outer layer of skin, leading to a longer recovery period with redness, swelling, and peeling.
Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing
Targets: Fine lines, mild wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
Benefits: Gradual improvement with minimal downtime, ideal for those seeking a less invasive approach.
Considerations: Requires multiple sessions for optimal results, and the improvement may be subtle compared to ablative lasers.
Preparing for Laser Skin Resurfacing:
- Discontinue the use of certain skincare products, such as retinoids, before the procedure.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen in the weeks leading up to the treatment.
- Inform Dr. Saxon about any medical conditions, medications, or allergies.
- Stop smoking if you are a smoker, as it can negatively affect the healing process.
- Follow any specific preoperative instructions provided by Dr. Saxon.
What to Expect
After laser skin resurfacing, you can expect some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort. You will be placed on a very specific post-treatment skincare regimen to ensure that your skin stays moisturized without irritation.
About 3-5 days after your treatment, it is common to have some peeling. The extent of the peeling depends on your skin condition prior to treatment and the depth of treatment.
Mild redness typically lasts 5 to 10 days, during which you should avoid sun exposure and follow all post-care instructions. Makeup can be worn to cover any redness once peeling subsides.
The full recovery may take several weeks as your skin heals and regenerates. It can take up to 3 months to see the final results, but you’ll notice smoother, rejuvenated skin as your body produces new collagen fibers.
- Gently cleanse your face with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser.
- Apply a recommended moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
- Wear sunscreen with high SPF daily, even on cloudy days.
- Drink plenty of water to promote skin recovery.
- Avoid harsh skincare products and excessive scrubbing.
- Adhere to post-procedure guidelines provided by Dr. Saxon.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses when outdoors.
