Background And Objectives: Combining the efficacy of ablative fractional carbon dioxide lasers (AFXL) to laser-assisted hyaluronic acid delivery (LAHAD) has not yet been studied. The objective of our study was to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of laser-assisted hyaluronic acid (HA) delivery with AFXL in facial skin remodeling.
Study Design/materials And Methods: We conducted a prospective, double-blinded, randomized split-face study on 20 patients from 30 to 70 years old, with a skin phototype from I to IV.
Background: There is limited information regarding early development of soft-tissue and/or bone hypertrophy with facial port-wine stains (PWS).
Objective: We sought to characterize patients with hypertrophic PWS presenting during childhood.
Methods: Patients with a facial PWS and underlying hypertrophy that developed before the age of 18 years were included in a multicenter retrospective study.
Human polyomavirus 6 (HPyV6) is most often detected at the skin surface of healthy individuals. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that HPyV6 also infects internal tissues. We provide direct evidence of HPyV6 infecting a lymph node of a patient with an angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia or Kimura disease.

Background: Management of anogenital condylomas in children can be delicate especially in the event of profuse lesions and raises the issue of identification of the mode of contamination.
Patients And Methods: The dossiers of all children referred to the laser unit of "La Conception" University Teaching Hospital in Marseille between 1995 and 2005 for treatment of profuse anogenital condylomas were studied retrospectively. The main objective was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of CO2 laser treatment for anogenital condylomas.
