Abstract
Cutaneous laser resurfacing is already proving to be a highly effective tool for improving photodamaged or scarred skin. The clinical and histological effects of the new high-energy, pulsed carbon dioxide (CO2) systems compare favorably with other treatments such as dermabrasion and chemical peels. The tissue-tightening effect noted after laser treatment may account for the claims of superior clinical improvement and needs further investigation.Keywords
