Corrective dermatology today.

The field of corrective dermatology has gained remarkable development in the past two decades. New heights in techniques and the growing interest in rejuvenation procedures have resulted in an increase in the number of corrective procedures all over the world. Here we present the most frequently performed corrective procedures in dermatology today: lasers, intense pulsed light, fillers, botulinum toxin, chemical peeling, radiofrequency, and dermabrasion. Currently, the most preferable procedures are those with early visible results, short 'down-time' and minimal risk of unwanted effects. Therefore, ablative resurfacing has been mostly replaced by nonablative and fractional resurfacing, while fillers and botulinum toxin have been ever more employed. The best cosmetic results can be achieved with combination of different corrective procedures.
