Popis: As more patients desire nonsurgical options, understanding how to apply lasers to one’s practice is of utmost importance. Lasers can be used as a solitary treatment modality or as an adjunct to surgery to improve the overall result. Understanding the target chromophore of each laser and how to adjust energy densities to achieve the patient’s goal is the foundation to implementing lasers into one’s practice and necessary to mitigate the risk of complications. Additionally, other nonsurgical modalities are reviewed in this chapter that can be used to improve quality and texture of skin and to achieve skin tightening.
