During the ablative laser procedure, we remove the superficial layers of the skin. This creates a minimal wound that starts a great process: The production of collagen and new elastic fibers is stimulated. The fact that we remove the superficial layer of skin also reduces any pigmentary shifts or even acne scars. Depending on the depth of the ablation, you should expect a downtime of about one week to ten days for the ablative laser procedure. Very good effects can be achieved with just one treatment. The procedure is suitable for skin types I to III, sometimes also IV.
We use the ablative CO2 laser to treat moderate to deeper wrinkles, sagging skin, aging skin, age spots or even superficial acne scars. Furthermore, it is helpful in cases of elastosis, a degeneration of the collagen connective tissue.
