Abstract:
This article introduces the reader to the concept of nonablative laser skin tightening with the Cool Touch (Cool Touch Corp., Roseville, CA) laser, a minimally invasive office based procedure. This novel laser system uses dynamic cooling to protect the epidermis while producing a wound healing response in the dermis. Subtle yet positive results have been observed with this laser with minimal down time for patients. The development of this technology and its clinical applications and investigations are discussed.
