[From dermabrasion to laser. Development of operative-interventional methods in aesthetic dermatology].
Many operative-interventional methods are available for aesthetic dermatology. The established high-speed dermabrasion as developed by Schreus has been replaced in many indications by newer approaches. Laser ablation can be effectively used for resurfacing of sun-damaged or scarred skin, but is associated with extensive side effects. Newer developments such as fractionated laser treatment are designed to fill the gap between ablative and non-ablative skin resurfacing. The side effects are much less severe, but the effectiveness must be confirmed in larger studies. Photorejuvenation with intense pulsed light (IPL) offers a wide variety of treatment parameters for a broad spectrum of skin changes. Both superficial and deep structures can be treatment in one session using IPL.
