## Abstract ## Background and Objective Treatment of facial angiofibromata (AF) relied largely upon cutaneous resurfacing. While effective, resurfacing affects large areas with attendant risks of dyspigmentation, infection, and scarring. We investigated the pulsed KTP (532 nm) laser energy for its

β¦ Synopsis
Eight patients with facial syringomata have been treated with the superpulse CO2 laser and followed for periods up to 3 years. Superpulse capability allows satisfactory photovaporization of overlying skin and exposure and liberation of the underlying cyst. Healing was satisfactory with minimal scarring and no persistence or recurrence of syringomata in five of eight cases.
