Skin rejuvenation with intense pulsed light

Acta Dermatovenerol Croat. 2010;18(3):181-4.

Abstract

Skin rejuvenation has developed into one of the most popular indications for laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment in dermatology. During the past few years, nonablative skin rejuvenation with infrared lasers has become ever more popular. The results for hyperpigmentation, telangiectasias and erythema are very good, whereas the results in treating wrinkles are not as good as with ablative therapy.
