Treatment of Atrophic Facial Scars with Combined Use of High-Energy Pulsed CO2 Laser and Er:YAG Laser: A Practical Guide of the Laser Techniques for the Er:YAG Laser

Abstract

Treatment of atrophic facial scars with combined use of high-energy pulsed CO2 laser and Er:YAG laser is a very effective and useful method.

Surgical Treatment of Facial Acne Scars Based on Morphologic Classification: A Brazilian Experience

“…Different authors have also tried to facilitate acne scar treatment by suggesting schematic diagrams that correlate scars morphology and treatment, 21,30–38 whereas others have used sequential therapeutic plans in treating theses scars. Whang and Lee 32 suggested three stages: 1, 50% TCA focal chemical peeling in pitted areas; 2, CO 2 laser vaporization 1 to 3 months later, and 3, full‐face dermabrasion 6 to 8 weeks later.…”

Novel Opportunities in the Treatment and Prevention of Scarring

“…24 The degree of scar improvement was greater than 70% in 97% of patients, determined by comparing preoperative and postoperative photographs. …”

A study of efficacy of subcision, micro-needling and carbon dioxide fractional laser for treatment of acne scars

“…Various therapeutic options have been described with variable clinical outcomes and complications, such as subcision, micro needling, chemical peels, Trichloro acetic acid CROSS technique, punch graft, punch excision, dermabrasion, ablative laser treatment, non-ablative laser treatment, autologous fat transfer, and injection of dermal fillers etc. [10][11][12][13][14] Recently, better understanding of the scar pathology has led to development of many new procedures with shorter downtime and improved response. The objective of this study is to study the efficacy of subcision, micro needling with derma roller and CO 2 fractional laser in the treatment of atrophic acne scar and the complications associated with these procedures.…”
