AB Cutaneous  resurfacing  encompasses  the  use  of  varied  technologies  to  smooth,  tighten,  even,  or  otherwise  restore  epidermal  and  dermal  appearance.  Changes  resulting  from  extrinsic  aging,  including  ultraviolet  light  photodamage  and  other  environmental  insults,  from  chronologic  aging,  and/or  scars  resulting  from  surgery,  acne,  or  other  causes  of  inflammation  or  trauma  may  each  be  treated  and  significantly  reduced  or  resolved  with  the  appropriate  application  of  laser  and/or  radiofrequency  technology.  Given  the  prevalence  of  epidermal  and  dermal  abnormalities  in  the  population,  demand  for  effective  and  safe  resurfacing  procedures  is  high.  Fortunately,  significant  advances  in  the  arena  of  laser  and  radiofrequency  technology  have  provided  effective  and  diverse  options  for  cutaneous  resurfacing  (Table  5-1).
