Photorejuvenation is a skin treatment that uses lasers, intense pulsed light, or photodynamic therapy to treat skin conditions and remove effects of photoaging such as wrinkles, spots, and textures. The process induces controlled wounds to the skin. This prompts the skin to heal itself, by creating new cells. This process—to a certain extent—removes the signs of photoaging.[1] The technique was invented by Thomas L Roberts, III using CO2 lasers in the 1990s.[2][3] Observed complications have included scarring, hyperpigmentation, acne, and herpes.
