Ablative Fractionated CO2 Laser Resurfacing for the Face and Neck

The laser treatment of carbon dioxide ultra-pulsed and peelings chemical phenol-deep oil crotón (formulas BackerGordon and Litton) have been and remain the most used for the rejuvenation of the skin of the face. This study was conducted to compare the effects of both treatments by histological sections at different periods of the evolution of the same. Biopsies were performed face treaties skin before and retro immediately and 24 hours after the ablations CO2 laser and 24 hours after application of the formula of Litton for chemical peeling deep. Areas in areas near the biopsies were biopsied 12 hours, 24 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 2 and 3 months later, in the case of treatment with phenol 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 1 week, 1 year and 10 years later. The initial biopsies showed that being ablations CO2 laser deeper than the chemical peeling with phenol, a month both had formed an area neocolágeno. But after three months, the comparatively deep phenol chemical peeling (formula Litton) had been an area neocolágeno more compact and wide as that produced by the CO2 laser ultra-pulsed.

Abstract Background Acne scars, is a challenge for dermatologists, despite having multiple treatment modalities like microneedling, dermabrasion, Fractional CO2 Laser, dermal fillers, etc. However, monotherapy has been hardly satisfactory because of the polymorphism seen with the scars. Objective Comparison between microneedling with platelet rich plasma versus Fractional carbon dioxide laser with platelet rich plasma in treatment of atrophic post acne scars. Patients and methods This study was carried out in department of dermatology, venereology and andrology, in Kobry El-Kobba Military complex during the period (from September 2018 to July 2020 ) on 20 patients of both sexes aged from 20 to 60 years old presenting with Goodman and Baron Grade II, III, IV acne scars . Results The study revealed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.017) between Goodman and Baron scar grades on the right side of the face before and after treatment indicating that microneedling with platelet rich plasma was effective in improving acne scars. Also, there is a statistically significant difference (p = 0.010) between Goodman and Baron scar grades on the left side of the face before and after treatment, indicating that fractional CO2 laser with platelet rich plasma was effective in improving acne scars. Conclusion and recommendation Further controlled and randomized studies are needed to validate our findings in a larger cohort of patients and longer follow up. Also, number of sessions might be more than 3 sessions.
