Background: Acne scarring not only affects the aesthetic appearance of an individual but also has a detrimental effect on mental health and social life. Various treatment modalities are available for acne scars.
Aim: In this study, fractional erbium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser resurfacing was compared with 20% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peeling in terms of efficacy and safety.
Article Synopsis
- The erbium-YAG laser is a well-established treatment in dermatology, but there's a lack of research on its effectiveness and side effects specifically for Indian skin concerning superficial skin conditions.
- A study with 250 patients evaluated the efficacy and safety of the erbium-YAG laser for various superficial dermatoses, assessing outcomes based on lesion clearance percentages.
- Results showed significant improvement in conditions like verruca plana and seborrheic keratosis, with some adverse effects being common, such as post-laser erythema and pain; however, the laser provided good cosmetic results and a low recurrence rate.
