Erbium:YAG laser resurfacing in Asians.
Dermatologic Surgery : Official Publication for American Society for Dermatologic Surgery [et Al.] 1998 December
BACKGROUND: Although laser resurfacing has become increasingly popular in the treatment of Caucasian skin, concerns about healing and postinflammatory pigmentary changes have limited its use in Asian skin.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of the Erbium(ER):YAG laser used in the treatment of Asian skin.
METHODS: Fifty Asian individuals with Rhytids, scars, pigmentary alteration, and a variety of cutaneous growth were treated with the Erbium:YAG laser. Patients were evaluated for clinical efficacy, wound healing, post-operative erythema, and post-inflammatory pigmentary changes.
RESULTS: Significant improvement was noted in all individuals. Shorter periods for re-epithelization and erythema duration were noted when compared to previously reported results following carbon dioxide laser resurfacing.
CONCLUSION: The Erbium:YAG laser is safe and effective in the treatment of Asian skin.
