Unlike traditional treatments such as dermabrasion and chemical peels, the unique characteristics of laser skin resurfacing allow more accurate and precise control over the treatment process.
Laser peeling is a procedure involving intentional damage followed by exfoliation of the damaged or weak superficial layer of the skin, depending on the individual needs of each Patient – from delicate and superficial effects, to very intensive and deep exfoliation.

Skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments can be performed either in ablative modes with an Er:YAG laser or non-ablatively with a Nd:YAG laser, depending on the particular aesthetic outcome that the patient and practitioner wish to achieve. In addition, ablative and non-ablative treatments can also be combined into a comprehensive anti-aging treatment, such as Fotona’s TwinLight® Fractional Rejuvenation system.
Superficial peeling, also known as resurfacing (or light peel), has a minimally ablative action on the superficial layers of the skin, leading to its refreshment and regeneration, reduction of shallow discolourations and dilated pores, as well as general cleaning and improvement of its texture.
