CO2 laser resurfacing can deliver dramatic improvements...
<0.0001), shortened crust formation time (MD=-0.42,95% CI [-0.80, -0.04],P=0.03) and crust removal time (MD=-1.31,95% CI [-1.67, -0.95],P<0.00001), and increased patient satisfaction (RR=1.85, 95% CI [1.44, 2.38],P<0.00001). Reported adverse events — including hyperpigmentation, erythema, edema, mild itching, and slight burning — were controllable. The combined therapy also showed a lower incidence of hyperpigmentation than fractional CO2 laser alone.
