레이저 박피술 Laser Resurfacing

Although CO2 lasers have been used in medicine for almost 30 years, recent developments have changed the way they are being used. Several laser technologies have altered the CO2 laser delivery system, making it useful for the treatment of w…

There has always been interest in looking younger, but recently there seems to have been an explosion of public interest in facial rejuvenation. Physicians have been treating photodamaged skin for many years by removing the epidermis and a …

Cutaneous laser resurfacing is already proving to be a highly effective tool for improving photodamaged or scarred skin. The clinical and histological effects of the new high-energy, pulsed carbon dioxide (CO2) systems compare favorably wit…

The history of resurfacing procedures used to treat the aging face is reviewed, and the place of laser resurfacing within this context is described. The changing medical reimbursement system and desire by "baby boomers" to maintain a youthf…

Transcutaneous lower blepharoplasty as a standard procedure for cosmetic lower blepharoplasty is being replaced by transconjunctival blepharoplasty and laser resurfacing techniques. Nevertheless, there remain specific indications for the tr…

When blepharoplasty is performed by transconjunctival route, sometimes the excess of skin created by overlaxness of the lower lid does not retract to achieve the desired cosmetic result. We propose a method for controlled retraction of the …

Current concepts of total facial rejuvenation involve a comprehensive integrated approach to achieve a balanced youthful appearance. Recently introduced endoscopic-assisted techniques allow us to rejuvenate the face through small, remote in…

[BACKGROUND] The new Ultrapulse carbon dioxide (CO2) laser technology has added a new dimension to many cosmetic surgery procedures including hair transplantation. Early reports by Unger and David (Laser Hair Transplantation. J Dermatol Sur…

[BACKGROUND] Effective treatment of facial rhytides has been reported using carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers with high peak power and short exposure time which creates char-free ablation. Char-free ablation can also be created using a Silktouch …

[BACKGROUND] In a previous study, hair-bearing grafts inserted into slits prepared with an ultrapulse Co2 laser were shown to produce results that combined the advantages of round grafts and slit grafts: specifically, maximum density with m…

We describe layer-by-layer char-free facial skin resurfacing at very low CO2 laser power levels with a miniature "SilkTouch" microprocessor-controlled optomechanical flashscanner. This device provides excellent ablation depth control with m…

[BACKGROUND] A new ultrapulse CO2 laser has been investigated for its possible use in hair transplanting. This laser, because of its ultrashort high energy pulses, produces far less thermal damage to adjacent tissues, including hair follicl…

Tissues in the periorbital region commonly change due to aging. We examined 31 patients for scar formation and symmetry after blepharoplasty and looked for symptoms of keratoconjunctivitis sicca by means of the Schirmer's I test. In eight p…

This study compares and contrasts the use of the CO2 laser with the conventional cold-steel scalpel and electrocautery in cosmetic blepharoplasty. Ten patients underwent bilateral, upper, and lower eyelid cosmetic blepharoplasty using the C…
