First: Ablative Laser

This type of laser aims to remove the outer layers of skin by vaporization, and raise the temperature of the deeper inner layers to help stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin.

For this reason, it is considered one of the most effective and successful types of laser in treating skin problems, especially the problem of deep wrinkles, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Since it is suitable for different types of skin, it is applicable to the skin of the entire body. The following types fall under it:

Peeling using carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser

Although it is one of the oldest types of laser, it is among the most powerful and influential in the world of skin rejuvenation and treatment, as it emits a focused laser that removes damaged cells and helps renew the layers of the skin by stimulating the production of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin. In addition, its results are long-term and do not require a long recovery period.

Peeling using erbium laser

One of the modern techniques that helps to get rid of the superficial layers of the skin, which improves the general appearance of the skin and helps to rejuvenate it. This type is characterized by high accuracy and simple side effects, so it is suitable for sensitive skin and can be used in different areas of the body.

Fractional Ablative Laser Peeling

It is one of the most advanced techniques in the field of skin beautification, as the laser beam is divided into fine columns that penetrate into separate layers of the skin. Therefore, damaged areas are treated without any effect on healthy tissues. Also, healing is faster, and the effectiveness in treating wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation is higher and better than other types, and the result lasts for long periods.

Second: non-ablative laser

These types of lasers do not rely on removing or getting rid of the surface layer of the skin, but they work to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin, which helps in cell regeneration and treating skin problems easily.

One of its most important features is that it does not require long recovery periods, but it does need to undergo multiple sessions to obtain gradual results. Its most important types are:

Fractional Non-Ablative Laser Peeling

It is one of the advanced technologies that is highly sought after in the market, as it is used to improve the appearance of the skin and treat it while preserving the surface layers. Laser light is released in the form of microscopic points that penetrate deeply into the skin, which helps to heat the tissue, which ultimately stimulates the natural healing process and cell regeneration. The results of this type are long-term, and it can be used in different areas of the skin.

Cold laser skin peeling

In these procedures, the energy of the laser light is low and does not heat the tissues strongly, so this technique is used with people with sensitive skin, as it is performed in gradual sessions, leads to recovery, and the results last for a long time.

Carbon laser skin peeling

If your skin is oily, this is the ideal procedure for you, as a carbon cream is applied to the skin for a certain period to rid you of the fats and impurities that fill the pores, and then a laser device is passed, which helps clean the skin, break up the impurities and stimulate cell regeneration.

This procedure also helps to lighten the skin, unify its color, and protect against the appearance of acne.

Third: Hybrid Laser

This type removes the outer damaged layers of the skin, and also helps increase collagen production, achieving effective results.

There are two types of hybrid laser. The first is the peeling laser, which gets rid of damaged layers and dead skin on the skin, making it smoother and protecting it from wrinkles.

The second is the non-peeling laser, which helps tighten the skin and improve its appearance by stimulating collagen production. It does not require a long recovery period and achieves quick results that last for long periods.

Fourth: Intense Pulsed Laser (IPL)

This technology relies on pulses of laser light, and does not remove the superficial layers of the skin, but it is used to improve skin tone, reduce pigmentation, and get rid of damage and freckles, which makes it the best in cases of skin color problems and treatment of small blood vessels.

It is also suitable in the event that you are unable to stop daily activities for some time, and it is used in more than one place in the body easily and safely.
