style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pretty much everyone assumes that when they\u2019re deciding between ablative vs. non-ablative lasers, they\u2019re choosing between two options: \u201cpowerful\u201d or \u201cgentle.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s actually a bit more nuance to the decision.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The question you should be asking is: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What am I trying to treat?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because if you use the wrong type of laser for your skin concerns, you\u2019re almost guaranteeing one thing\u2026<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sub-par results.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_These_In_Mind\"><\/span><b>Keep These In Mind<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laser treatments rarely produce disappointing results.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is more likely that they just didn&#8217;t use the right kind of laser.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the breakdown:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ablative lasers vaporize or remove the top layer of skin to improve the skin\u2019s appearance \u2192 ideal for wrinkles, scars, and serious skin issues<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-ablative lasers work underneath the skin\u2019s surface to boost collagen and improve texture over time \u2192 ideal for maintaining skin quality<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026but don\u2019t misunderstand:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s not saying you need to have your whole face shaved off to get results.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These newer fractional non-ablative lasers (like the <a href=\"https:\/\/drlianbeauty.com\/fr\/services\/ultra-laser-resurfacing\/\">Lutronic Ultra Laser<\/a> ) are so advanced that they can improve your skin\u2019s texture, tone, and collagen without serious downtime.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So ask yourself:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want faster results with more recovery time\u2026 or gradual improvements that you can schedule around your lifestyle?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have a clear idea of what you want out of treatment, the right choice becomes obvious.<\/span><\/p><p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_63 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p
