Long-term results after CO2 laser skin resurfacing: a comparison of scanned and pulsed systems. [1997.11]
BACKGROUND: New laser technology permits the use of high-energy pulsed and continuous-wave carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers with flashscanners to treat rhytides. OBJECTIVE: We compared the efficacy and side effects of the two leading CO2 lasers used in skin resurfacing... CONCLUSION: Although the SilkTouch system produced more immediate thermal damage, there were no significant differences in efficacy or adverse effects between the lasers. Our results suggest that both laser systems, used with appropriate settings, are capable of safely smoothing the skin surface.

Combined use of superpulsed carbon dioxide laser and cryotherapy for treatment of facial rhytids. [1996.11]
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of superpulsed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser alone with that of cryotherapy in combination with CO2 laser in treatment of facial rhytids... CONCLUSION: Superpulsed CO2 skin resurfacing alone is as effective as combined cryotherapy and superpulsed CO2 laser for treatment of perioral rhytids.
