Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Laser Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine

Background:

  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser resurfacing is a widely used dermatological procedure for treating facial rhytides and senile lentigines.
  • Erythema is a known and often unavoidable side effect of CO2 laser resurfacing.

Observation:

  • This case report details a 77-year-old female patient's experience with post-treatment erythema.
  • The intensity and duration of erythema were observed to be influenced by several factors.

Findings:

  • The occurrence and characteristics of erythema following CO2 laser resurfacing are multifactorial.
  • Patient-specific factors significantly impact the manifestation of postoperative erythema.

Implications:

  • Comprehensive preoperative patient education is crucial for managing expectations regarding CO2 laser resurfacing outcomes.
  • Informed consent and realistic expectation setting can help mitigate potential patient dissatisfaction and liability concerns.
