Hi, this is Christian, and I’m a clinical technician here at Laser Service Solutions, and I am here to answer some frequently asked clinical questions you may have.
Today’s question is, what is the difference in recovery time between an ablative and a non-ablative laser?
An ablative laser, such as a CO2 or Erbium laser, can take up to seven to ten days, sometimes two weeks, to recover from, seeing as you were technically burning the skin.
A non-ablative laser, such as an IPO or hair removal, usually as much fewer only two to three days.
Thanks for watching, and be sure to ask us any other clinical questions you may have. You can reach us at 856-853-7555, or visit laserservicesolutions.com.
