What is the primary goal of non-ablative lasers?

The primary goal of non-ablative lasers is to stimulate collagen production without damaging the skin’s surface. This type of laser treatment works by delivering energy to the underlying layers of the skin while preserving the outer layer. The heat generated beneath the surface encourages the skin to produce new collagen over time, which can improve skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance. Non-ablative lasers are particularly beneficial for individuals looking to achieve anti-aging effects, enhance skin elasticity, and reduce signs of aging without enduring the downtime associated with more invasive procedures.

Other options focus on different types of treatment outcomes that do not align with the characteristics of non-ablative lasers. For example, ablative lasers are designed to remove the top layer of skin, while certain laser treatments target visible blood vessels or provide immediate lifting effects that may require different modalities or techniques.
