Objectives: Fractional Co2 has always been one of the most versatile and must have lasers any aesthetic surgeon should have at their center.Having done more than 2000 cases with the help of a fractional CO2,I would like to highlight few cases of conventional treatment of fractional CO2 for scars and facial rejuvenation along 5 cases of unconventional uses of this laser ,less reported if at all reported before.
Introduction: Offcourse one should never buy a Fractional CO2 laser if the the aim is to treat freckles or pigmentation or keloids ,tattoo’s or any of these cases mentioned below as gold standard results of a fractional CO2 laser is mainly for scars of all kinds namely due to Acne,Trauma,Burns etc and also for facial rejuventation,although when it comes to facial rejuvenation on darker skin it could be a tricky laser to use considering the possibility of post procedure pigmentation.
Materials / method: In this study I present 3 cases of conventional uses and 5 cases of unconventional uses ,treated with a fractional CO2 ,that is of a 74 year old male patient on blood thinning agents treated for Pyogenic Granuloma without stopping the medication,a young male treated for a sinus tract just below a mandibular silicone implant,a young woman with Acrokeratosis Verruciformis, trans epidermal drug delivery for Alopecia Areata and Xanthelasma Palpebrarum.
Results: The results in all the above mentioned cases where very good or satisfactory .
Conclusion: We would like to conclude that Fractional CO2 being a truly versatile laser can be used for various indications once the user is familiar with the laser and the physics behind it.
