Efficiency of Carbon Dioxide Fractional Laser in Skin Resurfacing

AIM: The aim of the study was to confirm the efficiency and safety of the fractional CO(2) laser in skin renewal and to check the possibility of having a synergistic effect in patients who besides carbon dioxide laser are treated with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) too. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The first g...

description AIM: The aim of the study was to confirm the efficiency and safety of the fractional CO(2) laser in skin renewal and to check the possibility of having a synergistic effect in patients who besides carbon dioxide laser are treated with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) too. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The first group (Examined Group 1 or EG1) included 107 patients treated with fractional CO(2) laser (Lutronic eCO(2)) as mono-therapy. The second group (Control Group or CG) covered 100 patients treated with neither laser nor plasma in the same period but subjected to local therapy with drugs or other physio-procedures under the existing protocols for treatment of certain diseases. The third group (Examined Group 2 or EG2) treated 25 patients with combined therapy of CO(2) laser and PRP in the treatment of facial rejuvenation or treatment of acne scars. RESULTS: Patient’s satisfaction, in general, is significantly greater in both examined groups (EG1 and EG2) (p < 0.001). It was found the significant difference between control and examined group from the treatment in acne scar (Fisher exact two tailed p < 0.001). Patients satisfaction with the treatment effect in rejuvenation of the skin is significant (χ2 = 39.41; df = 4; p < 0.001). But, patients satisfaction from the treatment with HPV on the skin was significantly lower in examined group (treated with laser), p = 0.0002. CONCLUSION: Multifunctional fractional carbon dioxide laser used in treatment of patients with acne and pigmentation from acne, as well as in the treatment of scars from different backgrounds, is an effective and safe method that causes statistically significant better effect of the treatment, greater patients’ satisfaction, minimal side effects and statistically better response to the therapy, according to assessments by the patient and the therapist.
