F091 Fractional Laser and Light-based Technologies
DESCRIPTION
This session is appropriate for experienced and potential users of fractional laser and light technologies. Specific treatment protocols will be outlined and tips to optimize clinical outcomes will be shared. The expert faculty will use evidence-based approaches to examine the strengths and weaknesses of current fractional technology. A review of fractionated laser skin resurfacing and rejuvenation in varying skin tones and conditions as well as a discussion of future technologic applications will provide the attendee with the latest advancements in the fields.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Discuss the current indications, limitations, and potential for fractional laser, light-based and energy-based devices in dermatology.
Identify possible side effects and complications of fractionated skin resurfacing and rejuvenation procedures and develop strategies to prevent and treat them.
Develop a working algorithm for the clinical use of fractionated devices, including preoperative assessment, intraoperative treatment protocol, and postoperative follow-up.
