Key MethodThirty cases of post-acne scarring have been subjected to treatment by low level energy diode laser (1450 nm) in 4-6 sessions at 3 week intervals. The duration of the study was 18 months including a follow up period of 6 months after the last session. Only 16 cases (53.3%) showed satisfactory (good to excellent) response with a relatively high incidence of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (66.7%). Although low level diode laser seems to offer an attractive modality to deal with some dermal…

Treating acne scars in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types IV to VI using the 1450-nm diode laser.

The findings show the nonablative 1450-nm diode laser to be safe and effective in improving the appearance of atrophic acne scars in darker skin types.

Comparative outcome study of various chemical peels and surgical procedures in the management of acne scarring

Rolling scars were better managed with microneedling and subcision, box scars and icepick scars with TCA CROSS, and surgical treatment showed better improvement compared with chemical treatment.

Iradiation with 1320 nm Nd:YAG laser can lead to new collagen formation and associated clinical improvement in full-face laser-induced dermal remodeling, and can occur without epidermal ablation.

Infections Complicating Pulsed Carbon Dioxide Laser Resurfacing for Photoaged Facial Skin

Postoperative infection is uncommon and manageable with early recognition and proper treatment, and this complication has been found to be much more common in patients undergoing full face resurfacing and those using a bio‐occlusive dressing postoperatively.

Pilot ultrastructural evaluation of human preauricular skin before and after high-energy pulsed carbon dioxide laser treatment.

Treatment with the high-energy pulsed carbon dioxide laser appears to reverse the epidermal and dermal changes of photoaging on an ultrastructural level, and changes appear morphologically to be consistent with previously described clinical and histologic changes following laser resurfacing.
