Figure7new collagen. Clinical work with this material has shown its effects and an example is shown in Figure 7.18,19 EBDs have been very useful for rejuvenating the skin over the years. Newer technologies following evidence-based medicine have made these devices a reality for all of us in the laser and EBD field. As noted earlier and throughout this article, we can live in a world of hype or a world of reality. We need to choose to live in a world where well-done clinical studies pave the way for real science to explain how these devices work, to show the results that these devices can deliver, and to be truthful and honest in how we share these works with the world.

DISCLOSURES

Dr. Gold is a consultant for the following: Lumenis, Syneron- Candela, Venus Concept, EndyMed, and Sinclair.
