NoCO Aesthetics employs two types of resurfacing: Ablative and Non-Ablative.
Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing
NoCO Aesthetics Studio utilizes ADVATx for our non-ablative treatments.
Non-ablative treatments do not burn away skin tissue but use laser energy to stimulate collagen growth and tighten underlying skin. Non-ablative resurfacing is gentler than ablative and requires less downtime but may necessitate more treatment sessions and may yield less dramatic results.
In general, non-ablative laser treatments are used when the repair needed is less extensive. Also, non-ablative treatments are recommended for people of color for whom ablative resurfacing may be more likely to cause unsightly changes in pigmentation.
ADVATx is the world’s most advanced solid-state yellow laser for effective treatment of vascular abnormalities, acne, scars, warts and wrinkles. Multiple wavelengths, single spot or fractionated delivery allow the us to customize the treatment to achieve immediate visible results, with no pain or unwanted side effects like bruising, purpura or scarring.
Reasons for Non-Ablative Laser Resurfacing:
- Inflammatory Acne Vulgaris
- Port wine stains
- Telangiectasias – face/legs
- Rosacea
- Hemangiomas
- Scars

- Wrinkles – Periocular/Periorbital
- Psoriasis

Ablative Resurfacing
NoCO Aesthetic Studio’s choice of ablative resurfacing is Fraxel utilizing Viora’s revolutionary SVC™ Technology. Viora integrates enhanced Switching, Vacuum, and Cooling mechanisms into minimally invasive fractional RF treatments. SVC™ technology ensures your treatments are more comfortable and less painful, and that your results are the best they can be.
The Fraxel creates tiny “columns of thermal destruction” AKA small heat injuries to the skin in order to stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
Reasons for Ablative Resurfacing
- Sun damage
- Fine wrinkles
- Acne and surgical scars
- Fine lines around the eyes and lips
- Rough skin texture
- Uneven tone
