Review of nonablative photorejuvenation: reversal of the aging effects of the sun and environmental damage using laser and light sources

Semin Cutan Med Surg. 2003 Jun;22(2):93-106. doi: 10.1053/sder.2003.50008.

Abstract

This review article outlines all the latest light or electromagnetic radiation based technologies used for nonablative skin rejuvenation. While many technologies have been available for a number of years, emerging technologies are also discussed, which may play a role in treatment of photoaged skin in the very near future. The principles behind these technologies are discussed in detail.
