Broad Band Light and Skin Rejuvenation.

Pulsed light has proven its usefulness, effectiveness, and versatility in treating a multitude of skin problems, delaying skin aging, maintaining healthy skin, and as an adjunct to a cosmetic surgical practice in the treatment of postsurgical scars. Practitioners contemplating adding a pulsed light device to their practice should choose a device that has at least 4 important features: a large spot size, variable-sized smaller spot adaptors, pulse rates of at least 1 pulse per second, a wide range of cutoff filters, including 515 nm, 560 nm, 590 nm, 640 nm, and 695 nm, to treat most skin types.
