The ultrapulse carbon dioxide laser has been used in 110 patients for resurfacing and 50 patients for facelift, eyelid, and forehead surgery. Skin resurfacing is able to remove layers of skin of 100 microns without bleeding. Use of the computer pattern generator automatic scanning device allows a very rapid, uniform treatment in a variety of geometric patterns, sizes, and densities. Hemostatic incision is possible for cosmetic surgery. Sequence of the laserbrasion procedure as well as patient preparation, selection for surgery, and postoperative care are detailed. Laser lower blepharoplasty through the transconjunctival approach is commonly done concurrently with skin resurfacing to smooth out fine rhytides and extra skin.

A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the efficacy of ultrapulse carbon dioxide dot matrix laser treatment for patients with facial scars. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biomedical Literature Database, and Wanfang Database were systematically searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating ultrapulse carbon dioxide dot matrix laser treatment for facial scars, and the search was conducted from the time of database inception to July 2023. The retrieved literature was screened independently by two researchers, and data extraction and quality assessments were performed.

Unlabelled: Syringoma is a common but refractory benign skin tumor. Conventional treatment, such as ultra-pulsed carbon dioxide (CO ) laser or cryotherapy, often requires multiple treatment and can easily cause prolonged erythema, scarring, or depression, which are frustrating, so there is an urgent need to seek a safer and more effective method. In this article, we tried to demonstrate the Er:YAG laser combined with botulinum toxin A (BTXA) as a safer and more efficacious method for treating syringomas.
