Background: There has been growing patient demand for laser technology to treat rhytids and to refine skin texture without the associated lifestyle hindrance common to ablative cutaneous procedures. Nonablative laser systems have been developed to meet this need and, in many instances, have replaced ablative lasers as the preferred treatment modality.

Objective: To review long-pulsed diode laser technology in the treatment of a variety of cutaneous disorders.

Purpose: As the demand for noninvasive procedures to address cutaneous aging issues has increased, novel nonablative lasers and radiofrequency (RF) devices have recently emerged. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a combination RF/diode laser device designed to target both skin laxity and facial rhytides. Materials and methods.

Article Synopsis
  • Cutaneous aging shows signs like wrinkles, discoloration, and sagging skin, and while laser skin resurfacing is effective, patients often need surgical lifts for best results.* -
  • This study analyzed 34 patients who underwent both laser resurfacing and surgical lifting, looking into side effects and complications.* -
  • The findings indicated that combining these procedures did not increase adverse effects, with the most common side effect being temporary hyperpigmentation, allowing for better aesthetic results and reduced recovery time.*

Background: Advancements in nonablative laser technology necessitate concurrent developments in topical anesthesia, as patients have reported varying degrees of discomfort during these procedures. Although topical anesthetics have proven efficacious, they possess inherent limitations related to ease of use.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the S-Caine Peel (ZARS Inc.

Laser hair removal, due to demonstrated efficacy and safety, has become a commonly performed office procedure. We report an unusual occurrence after laser hair removal with the 800 nm diode laser that previously has never been described. After laser hair removal treatment to the ventral surface of the ears, a patient developed lesions of previously diagnosed reactive perforating collagenosis.
