Abstract
The concept for rejuvenation of the face by using light sources has been present since the advent of laser technologies. Lasers used to accomplish this goal include the ablative (CO2 and erbium) and nonablative lasers. However, the sequelae associated with ablative lasers and the lack of compelling efficacy associated with nonablative lasers created a realization that a nonlaser light source might be the best means of accomplishing facial photorejuvenation. These pulsed light sources began to become popular in the cosmetic surgery community in 2004 and have since undergone various refinements.
