Several types of treatment have been tested during the last decade, especially laser treatments. This article aims to share our experience in the treatment of photoaging with a new 675 nm laser source system on facial chrono-ageing. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five (35) patients were treated with the 675 nm laser device: 32 females (mean age 49 years) and 3 men (mean age 57 years), with Fitzpatrick skin types I\u2013III (9% type I, 43% type II, 48% type III), facial wrinkles and hyperpigmented spots. The efficacy of this treatment was assessed using the Modified Fitzpatrick Wrinkles Scale (FWS), which was calculated before starting the treatment and after 6 months. The pain was evaluated using the VAS Pain Scale. Results: All 35 patients showed a significant improvement in facial wrinkles according to the FWS (from 1.96 to 1.73 at the 3-month follow-up, up to a value of 1.43 at 6 months). In a small group of patients, it was observed that 44% of them showed vascular moderate improvement and that 13% showed a vascular marked improvement after treatment. No side effects were detected except a mild erythematous rash in two patients, and the VAS Pain scale was assessed at 1.17. Conclusions: Red Touch allows a uniform and stable result to be achieved over time with minimum discomfort.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59071245","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,5]],"date-time":"2023-07-05T00:33:42Z","timestamp":1688517222000},"page":"1245","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["New 675 nm Laser Device: The Innovative and Effective Non-Ablative Resurfacing Technique"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1983-0592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Domenico","family":"Piccolo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Novea Skin Center, 67051 Avezzano, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuliana","family":"Crisman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Novea Skin Center, 67051 Avezzano, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caterina","family":"Dianzani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plastic Surgery Unit, Section of Dermatology, Campus Biomedico University, 00128 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iris","family":"Zalaudek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology Clinic, University of Trieste, 34126 Trieste, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irene","family":"Fusco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"El.En.
