ABLATIVE LASER Resurfacing
Support Your Skin Effectively To Reveal Long Term Results
Ablative laser resurfacing removes controlled layers of skin to stimulate a wound-healing and remodeling response. It can improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and texture.
Always follow the aftercare instructions provided by your treatment professional.
Understand the Treatment
What is an Ablative Laser Treatment?
Ablative laser treatments use focused laser energy to remove controlled layers of the skin, stimulating the body’s natural repair process and encouraging the formation of new collagen. Because ablative treatments create a more intensive level of skin resurfacing, the recovery period is typically longer and requires careful post-treatment hydration, barrier support, and sun protection.
Commonly addresses:
- Moderate to deep wrinkles
- Scarring
- Age spots
- Uneven-looking skin tone
- Acne marks and scarring
- Stretch marks
- Certain skin growths and birthmarks

Questions, answered
The science, made clear.
Explore common questions about ablative laser treatments, skincare, and CNANO's approach to procedure-supportive care.
What is an ablative laser treatment?
Ablative laser resurfacing uses controlled laser energy to remove layers of the skin and initiate a repair response. As the skin heals, this process can help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, visible scarring, sun damage, and pigmentation.

How is ablative laser different from non-ablative laser?
Ablative lasers remove or vaporize controlled portions of the skin’s surface, while non-ablative treatments heat targeted tissue without removing the outer layer. Because ablative treatments create a more intensive controlled injury, they generally involve a longer recovery period.
What should I expect after ablative laser treatment?
Redness, warmth, swelling, sensitivity, dryness, and peeling or crusting can occur as the skin heals. Recovery varies depending on the laser, treatment depth, treatment area, and individual response. Always follow the aftercare instructions provided by your treatment professional.
We suggest using novoLUX™ nano · repair to support keratinocyte hydration, barrier recovery, and balanced skin repair and remodeling throughout the recovery process, helping maintain a supportive environment for healthy-looking tissue organization and remodeling.
Should I avoid active ingredients after ablative laser?
Potentially irritating products such as retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs, and other strong actives are commonly paused during early recovery. Your treatment professional can advise when it is appropriate to reintroduce them.
Why is sun protection important after ablative laser?
Newly resurfaced skin can be particularly sensitive to UV exposure. Once your provider advises that sunscreen can be applied, consistent sun protection can help protect recovering skin and reduce additional visible sun damage.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery time varies considerably depending on the laser technology and intensity of treatment. More superficial treatments may recover relatively quickly, while deeper resurfacing can require a longer healing period. Your provider can give you the most accurate timeline for your procedure.
Support Skin Before, During & After Laser Resurfacing
Ablative Laser Resurfacing is one step in the treatment journey.
