Applications
The past 10 years have brought unprecedented changes to cosmetic dermatology, as many new and promising technologies have hit the market. The flashlamp IPL technology has gained respect in this market, currently being considered the gold standard for photofacial treatments. In our experience the StarLux system is a powerful all-in-one platform. With this device we can successfully treat vascular and pigmented lesions, as well as permanent hair reduction, even in darker skin tone patients. While this system is by no means the only IPL technology available, we report on it because we have much experience with this system. We have found it to be a user-friendly and lightweight system that can easily be moved around or transported from one office to another. Due to its efficacy, safety and reliability this IPL system has become an integral part of our armamentarium.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
In laser skin resurfacing a laser is used to remove areas of damaged or wrinkled skin, layer by layer. The procedure is most commonly used to minimize the appearance of fine lines, especially around the mouth and the eyes. However, it is also effective in treating facial scars or areas of uneven pigmentation. Laser resurfacing may be performed on the whole face or in specific regions. Often, the procedure is done in conjunction with another cosmetic operation, such as a facelift or eyelid surgery.
