Abstrakt: Background: The fourth most common healthy skin phenomenon is aging. Objective: To assess the efficacy of Nd:YAG laser with a new handpiece for the treatment of wrinkles and skin laxity. Methods: A total of 30 patients underwent three laser sessions at 1-month intervals. The treated areas were cheek, perioral, periocular, and forehead. The visual analog scale, Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), and a photographic evaluation were performed before and at 3 months follow-up after the last treatment. Results: After three treatment sessions, an improvement of the patient's skin texture with a reduction of wrinkles was observed. The GAIS score was no change 3%, improved 37%, much improved 57%, and very much improved 3%. The average pain score was 2.6 ± 0.5. None of the adverse effects monitored was detected. Conclusions: Laser treatments stimulate collagen without causing epidermal damage, which results in less disability time and postoperative awkwardness.
