During recent years, requests for treatment of photoinduced damage such as wrinkles, atrophy, telangiectasia, dyschromia and enlarged pores have increased considerably. In response to the increase in demand, various techniques have been developed that use light sources that are coherent (laser), or non‐coherent (IPL), or other techniques, such as radio frequencies. Demand is also increasing for treatments for slight blemishes using non‐invasive methods, with a post‐operative course that does not affect the patient's normal working and/or recreational activities. We discuss the possibilities and limits that these procedures present.
