FAQ
What are the different types of laser resurfacing?
At True Balance, we offer:
- Non-ablative Laser Resurfacing: Non-Ablative lasers deliver heat deep into the dermal layers of the skin, while keeping the epidermis unharmed. This heat tightens the skin and stimulates collagen production which can lead to healthier, younger looking skin. This approach requires shorter healing period and only the treated area is affected.
- Fractional Laser Resurfacing: Fractional Resurfacing stimulates the healing process and helps produce healthy, new tissue. This innovative long-pulse laser emits high-energy microbeams and is effective in the treatment of: pigmented spots, melasma, stretch marks, facial wrinkles, sun spots, and acne scars.
- Profractional Laser Resurfacing: Profractional Laser Therapy provides you with instant results by penetrating the deep layer of your skin and creating thousands of microscopic channels, which stimulates the production of new collagen.
