Non-ablative fractional photothermolysis (nFP) produces specific thermal injury areas called microthermal treatment zones (MTZ) at specific depths in the skin. The surrounding tissue of the MTZ and the stratum corneum of the epidermis remain intact during treatment, leading to rapid healing of the i

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Fractional ablation offers the potential benefits of fullβsurface ablative skin resurfacing while minimizing adverse effects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, damage profile, and efficacy of erbium fractional lasers. ## Materials and M
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Ablative fractional resurfacing (AFR) is a new modality for photorejuvenation and acne scars which combines carbon dioxide (CO~2~) laser ablation with fractional photothermolysis. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy and side effects of a new fractiona
## Abstract ## Background Acneiform scarring after severe episodes of acne is a common cosmetic concern, treatable by a variety of modalities with varying degrees of success. Ablative CO~2~ laser resurfacing, while effective, is associated with an undesirable side effects profile, lengthy recovery
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Fractional ablative laser therapy is a new modality which will likely be widely used due to its efficacy and limited sideβeffect profile. It is critical to recognize, characterize, and report complications in order to acknowledge the limits of therapeutic ef
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives We introduce a novel CO~2~ laser device that utilizes ablative fractional resurfacing for deep dermal tissue removal and characterize the resultant thermal effects in skin. ## Study Design/Materials and Methods A prototype 30 W, 10.6 Β΅m CO~2~ laser was fo
