Background: Fractional lasers were introduced to provide increased safety, while maintaining high efficacy and patient satisfaction. Patients with virtually all Fitzpatrick skin types could be safely treated using a wide spectrum of wavelengths and a broad array of skin conditions, and aging could be addressed. Although safety studies have been reported for ablative CO and erbium lasers, surprisingly few data are available on adverse events and complications associated with fractional lasers.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Fractional photothermolysis has become an important laser modality in management of a number of skin conditions and photoaging. The authors describe the scientific basis of fractional photothermolysis, report on most of the available devices, discuss their clinical uses and techniques, and attempt to decipher their relative efficacy.
Methods: The authors reviewed as best as possible all fractional lasers currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for distribution into the United States.
Background: The authors investigated postprocedure patient satisfaction after fractional photothermolysis with the Fraxel SR laser.
Methods: All patients were surveyed with respect to their satisfaction with the results using a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5, with 5 = extremely satisfied and 1 = extremely dissatisfied. Fraxel SR laser treatment was performed for categories of skin abnormalities that included dyschromia, scarring, and texture abnormalities.
