Average Cost for Ablative Laser Resurfacing

Ablative Versus Non-Ablative

There is some confusion when researching laser rejuvenation costs, most of which stems from the wide gap in prices. One source lists $150 treatments, while another says laser rejuvenation is upwards of $1,500. This is mainly due to the difference in laser types, which fall under two categories: ablative and non-ablative.

When you don’t exfoliate it, you will get a buildup of dead skin, which makes it look dull and gives it an uneven texture. A layer of dead skin can accentuate your wrinkles and lines.

Sun Shu Mao stated: anyone under forty should use herbs occasionally to naturally regulate and strengthen the body; anyone over fifty should use tonics daily to nourish the blood, strengthen the body and promote longevity. Tonics such as Ginseng (参), Ling Zhi Reishi (灵芝) and Yang Rong Wan (养荣丸) have been used for centuries to nourish aging bodies. Other aging formulas are believed to help the body address specific aging conditions such as normal body aches and pains, eye strain, hair loss and menopause.
