Comparison of the Scar Prevention Effect Between a Carbon Dioxide Fractional Laser and a Continuous Ablative Carbon Dioxide Laser with a 595-nm Nd:YAG Laser
2019
Purpose
A linear surgical scar, when located in the head and neck region, can be a significant cosmetic concern. Laser skin resurfacing with a fractional laser and a pulsed dye laser has been proven to be useful for treating such scars. As alternatives, we used a classic ablative CO2 laser in continuous mode with a 1-mm spot size and a 595-nm Nd:YAG laser. We investigated the effect of the combination of the continuous CO2 laser and 595-nm Nd:YAG laser and compared it to the effect of fractional CO2 laser monotherapy on linear scars.
