Significant skin ‐tightening by closure of fractional ablative laser holes

ConclusionSignificant skin tightening can be achieved by immediate temporary non‐invasive wound closure after short pulse Er:YAG fractional ablative laser treatment, as well as after mechanically removing skin with a coring needle. This approach may improve skin tightening after ablative laser treatments. Further clinical studies are necessary to confirm successful application in humans. Lasers Surg.
