INTRODUCTION Among non-ablative devices for wrinkle reduction and skin laxity, long pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser (LPND) has considerable effectiveness. [] Key MethodMETHODS A prospective randomized split-faced study was done (n = 20). Half of the face was treated with three passes of LPND at a spot size of 12 mm, 20-24 J/cm(2) fluence, 12 ms width, and frequency of 2 Hz, for three sessions, every four weeks. Outcomes were measured by wrinkle evaluation of blinded investigators, subjects' self-assessment…
Efficacy and safety of long pulse Nd:YAG laser versus fractional erbium:YAG laser in the treatment of facial skin wrinkles
TLDR
Both modalities significantly improved periorbital wrinkling, nasolabial folds, dyschromia and skin laxity, and sagging of jowls, with no noticeable difference between two lasers.
A split-face comparison of Q-switched Nd:YAG 1064-nm laser for facial rejuvenation in Nevus of Ota patients
TLDR
Repeated QSNYL treatments not only remove the pigment in Nevus of Ota effectively and safely but also improve facial rejuvenation, positively correlated with the number of treatment sessions.
A preclinical study testing “Focused multiple laser beams,” a new concept of irradiation with the 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser for skin rejuvenation
TLDR
Focused multiple laser beams can deliver the target laser energy to the dermis without significantly affecting the epidermis, and achieves the desired dermal improvement without epidermal damage.
Nonablative laser skin resurfacing for periorbital wrinkling—A case series of 16 patients
TLDR
Many modalities have been described for the treatment of periorbital wrinkling and many of them are still in use.
Energy-Based Facial Rejuvenation: Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment
TLDR
Three broad categories of technology are leading non–energy-based rejuvenation technology: lasers, light therapy, and non–laser-based thermal tightening devices, which are evolving technologies that have changed rapidly over the past 5 years.
Laser Therapy for the Treatment of Morphea: A Systematic Review of Literature
TLDR
A systematic review of available literature using lasers in morphea identified a total of twenty relevant studies using laser therapy for LoS and focused on the use of PDL, six on fractional lasers, four on excimer, and two on either alexandrite or Nd:YAG.

TLDR
To compare single‐treatment facial skin tightening achieved with the current radiofrequency (RF) protocol with single‐ treatment tightening achievedwith the long‐pulsed, 1064‐nm Nd:YAG laser, radiofrequency pulses are compared with laser treatment with a pulses-based approach.
Assessment of the efficacy of nonablative long-pulsed 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser treatment of wrinkles compared at 2, 4, and 6 months.
TLDR
The greatest level of effect with long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser nonablative skin rejuvenation for facial wrinkles was seen 2 months after the final treatment, and effects were still visible at the 6-month period, but showed a tendency to decrease.
Nonablative laser resurfacing using the long-pulse (1064-nm) Nd:YAG laser.
TLDR
Although improvements in photodamaged skin are subtle and gradual, the 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser was well tolerated by patients of all skin types.
Clinical experience in skin rejuvenation treatment in Asians using a long‐pulse Nd:YAG laser
TLDR
The long‐pulse Nd:YAG laser with a minimal down time technique should be considered as a treatment modality in Asian women, according to the results of a clinical efficacy and safety evaluation in Japanese patients.
Non-ablative lasers.
TLDR
Non-ablative laser devices exert their effects by inducing dermal collagen remodeling while sparing the epidermis, and are an excellent alternative for people seeking gradual aesthetic improvement with minimal downtime.
Nonablative laser and light therapy: an approach to patient and device selection.
TLDR
Nonablative laser and light therapy is a relatively novel modality for the improvement of the visual appearance of photodamaged, scarred, and injured skin and features that can be addressed are red spots and telangiectasia, pigmentation and lentigines, and their daily routines while benefiting from the cumulative effects of skin rejuvenation.

TLDR
With a single treatment, both the long‐pulse 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser and ThermaCool RF device provide a modest degree of improvement in both wrinkles and laxity of facial skin and similar improvement in texture, pores, and pigmentation.
Pulsed Carbon Dioxide Laser Resurfacing of Photoaged Facial Skin
TLDR
Resurfacing of photoaged skin by means of a high-energy, microsecond-domain pulsed CO 2 laser with a specific clinical treatment protocol results in predictable improvement in perioral and periorbital wrinkling and photodamage with minimal risks.
Nonablative laser and light therapies for skin rejuvenation.
TLDR
Although results are not as impressive as those of ablative treatments, nonablative procedures are effective in the treatment of photoaging and acne scarring.
