Ablation - evaporation of a substance from the surface, because actual damage.
"Fractional resurfacing" is when laser ablation takes place in fractions (after that the skin is punctured and the damaged areas are replaced with whole ones). "Full Beam Resurfacing" is a method where the laser damages the WHOLE skin indiscriminately and leaves no whole fractions.
The laser works with a concentrated beam of light, which, depending on its length and intensity, most precisely has one or another therapeutic or rejuvenating effect, without affecting muscles, bones, lymph nodes and other vital systems and organs.
"Laser today is the most accurate and controlled technology in the field of cosmetology, gynecology, microsurgery. Accuracy - down to a nanometer (a nanometer is almost nine times thinner than a human hair). The laser beam is sterile, has a bactericidal effect and instantly solders blood vessels.
Many different lasers are used in cosmetology today. They differ in light wavelength, power, penetration depth in tissues, pulse frequency. "Basically, lasers are divided into ablative (when the skin is very flaky, as after peeling) and non-ablative (when the peeling is local). An ablative laser (an erbium YAG laser and a carbon dioxide CO2 laser) destroys consistently the surface layer of the skin and solves the problems of post-acne, wrinkles, scars and pigmentation. The effect of a non-ablative laser is focused on the deep layers of tissues, it practically does not affect the surface of the skin. Ablative lasers are very effective, but the recovery after the procedure takes from one and a half to two months, and after non-ablative lasers - just a few days.

The difference between laser resurfacing and peeling is the degree of intensity of the effect on the skin. Laser resurfacing is recommended to eliminate scars, sagging aging skin, eyelid lifting. Laser peeling aims to prevent aging, narrow pores and even out relief, this is a procedure for the younger generation. As a pleasant side effect - removal of pigmentation.
