Nonablative lasers

J Cosmet Dermatol. 2006 Jun;5(2):107-14. doi: 10.1111/j.1473-2165.2006.00235.x.

Abstract

The trend toward minimally invasive rejuvenation techniques has led to the widespread use of nonablative lasers. Nonablative lasers can be classified in two groups based on their wavelengths: lasers emitting light in the visible range, and those emitting in the infrared range. In this review, different laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) systems are presented and critically discussed along with findings of the studies in the literature.
