Abstract

Background and Objectives

Improvements in the physical signs of photoaging can be achieved by non‐invasive laser resurfacing procedures. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the Nd:YAG 1,064 nm and KTP 532 nm lasers for non‐invasive skin rejuvenation.

Study Design/Patients and Methods

Subjects requesting non‐invasive skin rejuvenation underwent two treatments with the 532 nm laser to one side of the face and with both lasers to the other side, followed by three treatments with the 1,064 nm laser to both sides. Skin characteristics were evaluated before, during, and up to 4 months after treatment.

Results

A >25% improvement in overall skin condition was observed for >30% of subjects at the 1 month follow‐up and >40% of subjects at the 4 month follow‐up. The greatest improvements were observed for visual dryness, roughness, and uneven pigmentation. No adverse events were reported. There was a trend for greater improvement in patients who received more 1,064 nm treatments but this was not statistically significant.

Background: Laser-assisted lipolysis has been suggested to augment traditional liposculpture by improving skin laxity and providing hemostasis. Previous studies have reported improved hemostasis and smoother post-operative appearance with the 1,064 Nd:YAG laser-assisted lipolysis system. Methods: Th

Background: Laser-assisted lipolysis with a medium pulsed 1,064 nm Neodymium:Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Nd:YAG) system has been used since FDA approval in October 2006 [1]. Since then, this technology has been advanced to include an additional wavelength (1,320 nm) and an accelerometer designed to imp

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Nonablative fractional lasers are well recognized for rejuvenating photoaged skin. We previously reported favorable outcomes with short follow‐up after the use of 1,440‐nm Nd:YAG laser energy used alone or in combination with a 1,320‐nm laser to effect reju
