Unfocused Pulsed Lasers Selectively Destroy Lipofuscin
Lipofuscin accumulates in the lysosomes of aging post-mitotic cells and progenitor cells, interfering with autophagy. Pulsed unfocused lasers can selectively destroy pigmented structures without harming the surrounding tissue. Aging researcher Nason Schooler argues the potential benefits of this lipofuscin removal approach.

At the Methuselah Foundation forums there is a thread on the subject titled "Nason Schooler's lasers."
