U032 Lasers & Energy Devices in the Treatment of Acne
DESCRIPTION
Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disorder in Dermatology. Medical therapy is considered first-line in the treatment of all forms of acne, including inflammatory, comedonal and nodulocystic types. Recently, new technology has been developed to address acne and acne scarring. This session will review the published literature on the various lasers and energy devices used in the treatment of acne vulgaris, along with algorithms that incorporate medical therapies. Safety protocols will be reviewed, including the use of these devices in diverse racial skin types.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Discuss the various lasers and energy devices that are available for the treatment of acne.
Select the appropriate laser or energy device for acne patients with diverse skin types.
Describe an algorithm that incorporates lasers/energy devices with medical therapies for acne patients.
