Center for Cancer Immunology and Cutaneous Biology Research Center, Department of Dermatology and Center for Cancer Research, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Objective: Physical treatment modalities, such as ablative fractional laser (AFL), electrocautery, and cryotherapy, are extensively used in the field of dermatology. This study aimed to characterize the short-term innate and adaptive immune responses induced by AFL compared with heat- and cold-based procedures.

Materials And Methods: Innate (CD11bLy6G neutrophils) and adaptive (CD8CD3 T cells) immune cell infiltration and histopathological changes were examined in murine skin on Days 1 and 7, following AFL, monopolar-electrocautery (RF), thermocautery, and cryotherapy.
