Skin Rejuvenation, Laser Hair Removal, Pigmented Lesions and Vascular Treatment
Laser based technology and treatment has advanced steadily for treatment of many cutaneous conditions, including a host of vascular and pigmented lesions, wrinkles, tattoos, scars and unwanted hair during the past decade. Demand for aesthetic treatments by skin ablation (resurfacing), and more subtle non-ablative treatments, has increased. Safety and ease of using lasers and high-energy flashlamps, has improved to the point that treatment can in some settings be given by non-medical personnel. Unwanted, preventable complications and side-effects are not uncommon. This article briefly reviews theory, clinical applications and potential for further progress of laser surgery in dermatology.
