Laser therapy offers new aesthetic surgery options for conditions like vascular lesions and aged skin. Choosing the correct laser, such as the pulsed dye laser or Ultrapuls-CO2-Laser, is crucial for successful patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Laser therapy has continuously evolved, expanding its applications in aesthetic surgery.
  • Various laser types are available, each with specific wavelengths and indications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current indications for laser therapy in aesthetic surgery.
  • To emphasize the importance of selecting the appropriate laser for optimal patient results.

Main Methods:

  • Review of established and emerging applications of laser technology in aesthetic procedures.
  • Comparison of different laser systems, including flash lamp pumped pulsed dye laser, Ultrapuls-CO2-Laser, and Erbium-YAG-Laser.

Main Results:

  • Successful treatment of vascular and pigmental disorders with the flash lamp pumped pulsed dye laser.

  • Ultrapuls-CO2-Laser shows advantages for aged skin treatment compared to Erbium-YAG-Laser.
  • Laser treatments are effective for conditions like naevi, hemangiomas, port-wine-stains, telangiectasias, tattoos, epilation, and skin resurfacing.

    • Conclusions:

    • Appropriate patient selection and laser choice are critical for successful aesthetic surgery outcomes.
    • While advanced, lasers cannot replace traditional surgical procedures like facelifts or blepharoplasty.
