Article Abstract

Contemporary approaches for facial rejuvenation encompass the utilization of both ablative and nonablative laser techniques. Extensive research has elucidated the adverse consequences associated with ablative laser treatment, such as the emergence of infectious, follicular, scarring, and pigmentary alterations. Nonablative fractional lasers exhibit commendable cosmetic outcomes, characterized by a diminished incidence of complications owing to their photomechanical mechanisms, in contrast to ablative laser modalities. Nonetheless, it is imperative to acknowledge that untoward effects may still manifest. In this report, we present two cases of herpes simplex virus (HSV) reactivation subsequent to nonablative fractional resurfacing. Timely identification and the appropriate administration of antiviral agents are important, which serve as imperative measures to mitigate the long-term consequences that may arise in the event of complications.
