- To document outcomes in patients undergoing periorbital wrinkle treatment.
Main Methods:
- Three patients with facial rhytides underwent resurfacing using a carbon dioxide laser (Sharplan((R)) 1030).
- Clinical outcomes and side effects were assessed post-procedure.
Main Results:
- Good to excellent results were observed in all three cases treated for facial wrinkles.
