Abstract
Statement of the Problem: The use of high Energy Based Devices [laser, intense pulsed light (IPL), RF, HIFU US] is booming in aesthetic practice. And, of course, with the growth of these activities the number of side effects and complications is increasing. Most often, these cases are associated with a breach of protocols of the performed procedures and with the wrong before & after treatment customer's care.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: We made analysis of complications based on the patient’s photos, statistics and patient satisfaction with descriptions of the procedures.
Findings: Post-treatment erythema is the most common side effect of those methods. Recent developments in high energy sources technologies have aimed at minimizing thermal damage to the dermis. We present a case, impressionably demonstrating that high-energy devices demand profound knowledge of its mechanism of action and can cause severe harm in the absence of basic knowledge. Nevertheless, complications have to be clearly distinguished from professional errors.
Conclusion & Significance: This report provides the highlights of how to minimize these complications, to manage statistical reports of risks for the relevant physicians to show less side effects and more consistent clinical results.
