Acne vulgaris is a ubiquitous problem affecting 80 percent of people ages 11 to 30 years,
with many patients experiencing some degree of scarring. This review focuses on atrophic …

Background Modalities for atrophic acne scarring can be classified depending upon the
needs they satisfy; that is, resurfacing, lifting/volumization, tightening, or surgical …

Objective To assess mature burn scars treated with a fractional carbon dioxide laser for
changes in histological architecture, type I to III collagen ratios, density of elastic tissue, and …

This review investigates the effectiveness of ablative and nonablative fractional
photothermolysis (FP) lasers for treating facial acne scars. Twenty‐six studies (13 ablative …

Background Fractional CO2 laser and platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) treatments have been
used in the treatment of acne scars. However, an objective method of assessment has been …

Background The treatment of acne scars with fractional CO2 lasers is gaining increasing
impact, but has so far not been compared side‐by‐side to untreated control skin. Objective …

Background: While laser resurfacing remains the most effective treatment option for atrophic
acne scars, the high incidence of post-treatment adverse effects limits its use. Fractional …

Ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing is a well-established treatment for acne
scars. However, there are limited consensus and guidelines regarding the procedure, such …

A recent advancement in the treatment of burn scars has been the use of the carbon dioxide
(CO2) laser to perform fractional photothermolysis. In this analysis, we describe our results …

Background Non‐ablative 1550‐nm erbium‐doped fractional photothermolysis systems
(FPS) and 10 600‐nm carbon dioxide fractional laser systems (CO2 FS) have been …
