  • Title: CO2 laser resurfacing of the face and neck.
    Author: Goldman MP.
    Journal: Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am; 2001 May; 9(2):283-90, ix. PubMed ID: 11457693.
    Abstract:
    Laser resurfacing with the short-pulsed, high-energy CO2 laser has been used to treat photodamaged skin and acne scars. Efficacy and safety have been demonstrated with this technique since 1992. Newer treatment methods, including sequential or combination treatment with the Er:YAG laser have led to increased efficacy with a decrease in adverse sequelae. This article details the author's experience with CO2 laser resurfacing and promotes the use of sequential CO2/Er:YAG laser resurfacing.
