Ongoing research regarding facial rejuvenation

Current facial skin rejuvenation is being refined, and research into new techniques is ongoing. Several methods that show promise as tools for facial skin rejuvenation have been identified. These include:

  • Coblation. Use of micro-electrical radio frequency to remove precise amounts of tissue. It involves using cold electrical energy, which helps minimize any potential skin damage.

  • Laser treatments. Research is continuing into nonablative lasers (that work beneath the surface skin layer to stimulate collagen growth and tighten skin) including the mechanisms by which they work. New kinds of lasers are being refined for use in treatment of serious skin disorders (e.g., psoriasis).
