Facial laser surgery

Abstract

Lasers have a number of clinical applications on the face, ranging from aesthetic uses such as the rejuvenation of ageing face to functional ones such as the correction of bleeding vascular malformations. The vast growing uses of lasers on the face emphasises the need to have knowledge of the subject. Though the vast spectrum of lasers is very difficult to compile in an article, the authors give an overview of the application of lasers in the facial region and discuss the most defining treatment of the individual disease processes.
