The role of light-based technologies in dermatology has expanded dramatically in recent years. Lasers and intense pulsed light have been used to safely and effectively treat a diverse array of cutaneous conditions, including vascular and pigmented lesions, tattoos, scars, and undesired hair, while also providing extensive therapeutic options for cosmetic rejuvenation and other dermatologic conditions. Dermatologic laser procedures are becoming increasingly popular worldwide, and demand for them has fueled new innovations and clinical applications. These systems continue to evolve and provide enhanced therapeutic outcomes with improved safety profiles. This review highlights the important roles and varied clinical applications that lasers and intense pulsed light play in the dermatologic practice.

or centuries, patients and physicians have sought a safe and effective method for treating skin changes associated with photoaging. Currently, a variety of modalities are used to treat facial rhytids, including dermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser skin resurfacing (LSR). Although these modalities are relatively effective for rhytid reduction, epidermal disruption or removal results in an open wound that places the patient at risk for bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Abnormal or delayed wound healing may result in skin dyspigmentation and scarring. In addition, the wound resolves with significant erythema that often lasts for weeks or months and is cosmetically troubling to patients (Figure 1). The ideal method of skin rejuvenation would achieve optimal cosmetic improvement of photodamage while minimizing wound care and the risk of adverse effects.
