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 uneven texture, by inducing controlled wounds that prompt the skin to heal itself and create new cells. The technique was invented by Thomas L. Roberts III using carbon dioxide lasers in the 1990s; observed complications have included scarring, hyperpigmentation, acne and herpes.
