Laser resurfacing with the 950 microsec pulsed CO2 laser has been proven to be efficacious in improving photodamaged skin and acne scarring. Unfortunately, prolonged erythema and delayed wound healing are common adverse sequelae, which require intensive patient education and intervention. These adverse effects may be due to the degree of nonspecific thermal damage present after resurfacing with the CO2 laser. Since erbium: YAG (Er:YAG) laser vaporization leaves far less thermal damage, it is hypothesized that its use after CO2 laser resurfacing will decrease the extent of nonspecific damage and result in improved wound healing.
