T2  - Cosmetic Dermatology for Skin of Color
AB  - More  than  half  of  the  population  of  the  United  States  will  soon  be  non-Caucasian.  Further,  much  of  the  currently  burgeoning  demand  for  cosmetic  dermatology  emanates  from  Latin  America,  the  Middle  East,  and  the  Far  East.  Fortunately,  improvements  in  technology  have  made  the  treatment  of  pigmented  skin  more  feasible.  For  instance,  long-pulsed  Nd:YAG  lasers  can  be  used  to  safely  remove  hair  in  darker-skinned  patients,  and  gentler  fractionated  lasers  can  resurface  the  skin  of  Indian,  African  American,  and  Asian  persons  without  a  high  risk  of  pigment  change.
