The followingis the chapter summary:
- Many aspects of dermatoheliosis are amendable to treatment with a variety of ablative and non-ablative lasers and light sources.
- Ablative laser skin resurfacing offers the most substantial clinical improvement, but is associated with greater postoperative recovery.
- Non-ablative laser skin remodeling is a good alternative for patients who desire modest improvement for dermatoheliosis with a limited post-treatment recovery period.
- Fractionated laser systems provide the benefits of higher energy treatments with fewer side-effects and faster recovery than traditional lasers.
- Continued developments in laser technology will lead to greater efficacy with an improved safety profile.
