November 2010 in “JDDG Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft” New trends in dermatological laser therapy over recent years were based on new wavelengths, concepts, and treatment combinations, leading to various new dermatologic indications. Fractional laser therapy for chronic actinic skin damage became a standard technique, with fractional non-ablative and ablative laser treatments proving safe and effective for pigmented and vascular skin changes. Promising new concepts for laser epilation included linear scanned and low fluence laser systems, with the former allowing short treatment times for large areas and the latter being the basis for home-use devices, though their long-term efficacy and side effects were not yet tested. Laser lipolysis emerged as a minimally invasive method for removing small localized fat deposits, showing potential for liposculpture. Ultra-short pulsed laser systems, such as femtosecond lasers, were introduced for precise ablation, avoiding thermal damage at the borders of ablation zones.
