Few adverse events found in noninvasive, minimally invasive cosmetic procedures

A tiny fraction of adverse events occurred after dermatologists performed more than 20,000 noninvasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, according to a study published online by JAMA Dermatology.

Cosmetic dermatology is a well-developed field and data suggest the procedures are associated with a low rate of adverse events, according to background information in the study.

Researcher MuradAlam, M.D., M.S.C.I., of the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, Chicago, and co-authors characterized the incidence of adverse events associated with a subset of common cosmetic dermatologic procedures that utilized laser and energy devices, as well as injectable neurotoxins and fillers.
