Abstract:
Facial skin resurfacing using the carbon dioxide laser has become an increasingly popular procedure. Improvements in carbon dioxide laser technology have made the procedure simpler and more reliable. However, difficulties and problems in the postoperative period can lead to patient morbidity and physician anxiety. The authors have performed laser resurfacing in almost 2,000 patients in the last 4 years. Problems encountered and methods formulated to minimize postoperative complications are discussed.
