Ex vivo histological characterization of a novel ablative fractional resurfacing device.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We introduce a novel CO(2) laser device that utilizes ablative fractional resurfacing for deep dermal tissue removal and characterize the resultant thermal effects in skin. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS A prototype 30 W, 10.6 microm CO(2) laser was focused to a 1/e(2) spot size of 120 microm and pulse duration up to 0.7 milliseconds to achieve a microarray patte...
متن کاملClinical and Histological Evaluation of Er:YAG Ablative Fractional Skin Resurfacing
Ablative fractional skin resurfacing represents a new possibility that allows for shorter downtime and minimizes the risk of possible side effects compared to classical full ablative Er:YAG and CO2 treatment. To evaluate the potential benefits of fractional treatment with Er:YAG for skin resurfacing, we performed a clinical and histological comparison of the healing process after fractional and...
متن کاملAblative and non-ablative fractional resurfacing
Fractional resurfacing may be used in the management of melasma, striae/stretch marks, acne scars, pearly penile papule, syringoma, burn scar, verrucous epidermal naevus and skin tightening. In 20-30% of the patients with melasma, fractional resurfacing may not be effective or may even cause an exacerbation. Treatment effects may also be temporary. When compared with traditional carbon dioxide ...
متن کاملAblative fractional resurfacing for involuted hemangioma residuum.
BACKGROUND Given the natural tendency for 15% to 40% of infantile hemangiomas to spontaneously involute over time, much debate surrounds the issue of treatment. Until recently, effective therapies to improve the appearance of residual textural skin changes in these patients were lacking. We suggest the use of ablative fractional resurfacing for the treatment of textural skin changes resulting f...
متن کاملEvaluation of a novel fractional resurfacing device for treatment of acne scarring.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Pulsed carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser devices are considered highly effective treatment options for skin resurfacing. However, the high risk for significant treatment complications following CO(2) resurfacing has warranted the development of new treatment modalities. The concept of fractional photothermolysis was developed to address the shortcomings of ablative and non-a...
