Comparison of erbium:YAG and carbon dioxide lasers in resurfacing of facial rhytides.
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy, adverse effects, and histological findings of erbium:YAG (Er:YAG) and carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatment in removing facial rhytides. DESIGN An intervention study of 21 subjects with facial rhytides. All participants were followed up for 6 months. The end points of the study were wrinkle improvement and duration of adverse effects. SETTING Academic refer...
متن کاملComparison of Fractional Er:YAG and Carbon Dioxide Lasers in Resurfacing of Atrophic Scars in Asians
Fractional erbium (Er:YAG) and carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers are ablative fractional resurfacing systems widely used to improve the appearance of wrinkles and atrophic scars. However, there have been limited studies comparing the clinical outcome and adverse effects of these two lasers. We conducted a prospective, randomized trial to compare the efficacy and safety of fractional erbium and carbon...
متن کاملFacial rhytides--subsurfacing or resurfacing? A review.
UNLABELLED STUDY DESIGN/BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Currently, ablative laser therapy (with CO2/Er:YAG lasers) is considered an effective and promising method of skin rejuvenation. The induction of collagen synthesis was observed after treatments with the CO2 laser and with the long-pulsed Er:Yag laser. In past years, the undesirable side effects and risks of these methods have led to intensifie...
متن کاملComparison of four carbon dioxide resurfacing lasers. A clinical and histopathologic evaluation.
BACKGROUND Several high-energy, pulsed and scanned carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers are currently available for cutaneous resurfacing. Although each laser system adheres to the same basic principles of selective photothermolysis, there are significant differences between lasers with respect to tissue dwell time, energy output, and laser beam profile. These differences may result in variable clinical...
متن کاملUltrapulse carbon dioxide laser resurfacing and facial cosmetic surgery
DB Apfelberg. Ultrapulse carbon dioxide laser resurfacing and facial cosmetic surgery. Can J Plast Surg 1995;3(3):133-136. Over 100 patients have been treated with the ultrapulse carbon dioxide laser since July 1994. The high power square wave pulse of 600 watts at less than 1 msec (which is less than the thermal relaxation time of tissue) dissipates heat during vaporization, thus producing a `...
