- Abstract:
- Background Aging produces an undesirable change of the skin, especially in uv-exposed areas, particular-ly in the face. In the past 20 years, medical methods for skin rejuvenation have become in-creasingly important, as many people try to maintain a youthful appearance. Therefore, in the field of aesthetic dermatology, numerous methods for skin rejuvenation have been estab-lished over time. Methods A retrospective literature search has been performed focusing on three methods of skin reju-venation: Use of fractional CO2 laser light, application of chemical peels and medical nee-dling. In the section of the treatment options, their possibilities and risks are shown. Conclusion In summary, it can be said that every person is different and therefore requires an individual treatment approach. The mentioned therapy methods have certain advantages and disadvantages as well as possible complications. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the expectations of the patients and the therapy goal precisely. However, the discussed methods have the same treatment goal and mode of action, within the framework of local stimulation of collagen formation. Discussion Altough, numerous methods for superficial skin resurfacing have been developed to restore a youthful appearance, not all of them are promising. Firstly, the present work will summarize these treatment options. Afterwards, it will show that respectable results can be achieved with established, largely risk-free therapy options such as fractional CO2 laser, chemical peeling and medical needling with regard to rejuvenation.
