When we treat your skin with the non-ablative laser method, the surface remains intact. Since the laser beams penetrate your top layer of skin down to the dermis without damaging it, there is no ablation of your skin. Non-ablative laser treatment creates individual pinprick-like micro-injuries under your skin. The surrounding tissue is stimulated to heal the small injuries. As this happens, new cells and fresh collagen form. Your body removes the destroyed cells. There are no obvious “wounds” visible after the treatment, which is why you can usually go about your normal daily life immediately. Depending on the laser used and your individual conditions, you should expect three to six treatments at intervals of two to four weeks.
We use the 1540nm Erbium Glass laser as an ICON attachment as well as the 1927nm Thullium laser (LASEMD) for the treatments. The procedure is suitable for all skin types and tightens slightly sagging skin. With the non-ablative laser treatment we can refine your pores and refresh the overall skin appearance. The therapy allows for tightening of slightly sagging skin and helps to make deeper acne scars and stretch marks/stretch marks unrecognizable. We can also use it to treat melasma (hyperpigmentation) and dyschromia (change in skin color due to storage of pigments other than melanin).
