Objectives: The Lecture elaborates on the range of dermatological and aesthetic applications of the CO2 laser.
Introduction: Tremendous advances have been made in the medical application of the laser in the past few decades. Among laser types, ablative lasers, mainly the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is considered an important system for the dermatologist.
Materials / method: The CO2 laser is one of the most widely used lasers in the dermatology
field. With its wavelength in the mid-infrared at 10,600 nm, CO2 laser energy is wellabsorbed in water. As skin contains a very high water percentage, this makes the CO2 laser ideal for precise, safe ablation with good hemostasis. In addition to its efficacy in ablating raised lesions, the CO2 laser has been reported to be effective in the field of esthetic dermatology in the revision of acne scars as well as in photorejuvenation.
Results: With the addition of fractionation of the beam of energy into myriad microbeams, the fractional CO2 laser has offered a bridge between the frankly full ablative indications and the nonablative skin rejuvenation systems of the 2000s in the rejuvenation of photoaged skin on and off the face.
