Introduction to Cosmetic Dermatology

Non-invasive treatments are procedures that don't involve breaking the skin or inserting instruments into the body. These include treatments like facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and laser therapies. These procedures are typically performed to address issues such as fine lines, mild skin discoloration, and texture concerns.

Energy-based treatments use various forms of energy—such as laser, radiofrequency, or ultrasound—to target specific skin concerns. These treatments can stimulate collagen production, reduce pigmentation, remove unwanted hair, and improve overall skin texture and tone. Popular examples include laser hair removal, IPL photorejuvenation, and radiofrequency skin tightening.
