Low-fluence treatment with a novel fractionated 2,910-nm fiber laser improves photodamage.

Background: Facial rejuvenation by lasers that target water has been a mainstay of esthetic laser treatments for decades. Modern lasers more commonly treat a fraction of the skin surface using ablative, semi-ablative, or nonablative pulses.

Methods: Twenty subjects with visible evidence of chronic photoaging on the face were enrolled in this study.
