Laser Technology in Cosmetic Treatments
Ablative vs. Non-Ablative and the effects each type has on collagen production
What you will learn:
- Differences between ablative and non-ablative lasers
- How lasers stimulate collagen production
- Why non-ablative lasers are used in some cosmetic practices
When it comes to lasers in cosmetic practices, two main types dominate the scene: ablative and non-ablative lasers.
Ablative and non-ablative lasers, both aim to stimulate collagen production, one of the keys to youthful skin, but they work differently from eachother.
Ablative lasers, like CO2 and erbium lasers, remove the skin’s outer layers, making a quick but painful resurfacing solution. However, these results are temporary, and the process comes with risks such as scarring and pigmentation changes.
Non-ablative lasers, which we use at Halo, offer a more sustainable approach. They bypass the skin’s surface, targeting deeper layers to stimulate collagen without wounding the outer skin. The result? Healthier skin that heals from the inside out, reducing inflammation and hyperpigmentation over time.
Our practice combines non-ablative lasers with treatments like micro-needling, PRP, and growth factors to give you long-lasting, natural results. Instead of a quick fix, we focus on regenerative aesthetics to help slow down aging, treating your skin from the inside out for healthier, glowing skin.
