Sažetak
Skin photoaging the gradual deterioration of cutaneous structure and function following chronic sun-exposure. Clinical features of actinically damaged skin include dryness, irregular pigmentation, wrinkling, elastosis, inelasticity, telangiectasia, venous lakes, pur&not ; pura, comedones, and benign, premalignant and malignant skin lesions. The most effec&not ; tive approach in protection from photodamage is avoidance of sun exposure ; however, there are numerous therapeutic procedures which are used to improve the skin changes already present. Laser therapy is valuable addition to the management of the signs of photoaging. Vascular-specific lasers are used for treatment of telangiectasia, senile angiomas and other vascular lesions. Dyspigmentation of photoaged skin is treated with pigment-specific lasers. Ablative lasers systems have recently come into favor for treat&not ; ment of facial rhytides, scarring and removing of benign skin lesions. Here we present our experiences in management of photodamaged skin using diode 532 nm laser, Q -switched ruby laser, Er:YAG laser and carbon dioxide laser.
