Efficacy and safety of a single treatment using a 10,600-nm carbon dioxide fractional laser for mild-to-moderate atrophic acne scars in Asian skin

Efficacy and safety of a single treatment using a 10,600-nm carbon dioxide fractional laser for mild-to-moderate atrophic acne scars in Asian skin

Background: Ablative laser therapy with carbon dioxide is effective for acne scars; however, the long downtime limits its use, especially in types III and IV skin. The fractional ablative 10,600-nm carbon dioxide laser system reportedly maximizes efficacy and minimizes side effects. The goal of this...
