The Ablative Laser is What you use for Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing is done with an ablative laser.  It really depends upon the settings, your skin type, your physician, and the type or wavelength of the laser.  Ask your physician.  We use an erbium laser for resurfacing and combine it with non-ablative lasers to remove some of the pigmented lesions.   We have found a combination approach is often more powerful.  I like the idea of CO2 or the Sci ton combination peel for the under eye region.  Again see you plastics surgeon or dermatologist to see what they get the best results with as this is the most important aspect.
