In-Vivo Histological Analysis of a Fractional CO2 Laser System Intended for Treatment of Soft Tissue.

CONCLUSION: Treatment of the skin using the fractional CO2 device leads to skin resurfacing via ablation and coagulation of the treated area at a depth proportional to the delivered energy. The higher the energy used, the greater the degree of ablation and coagulation in tissue, which can lead to a greater tissue response in terms of fibroblast activity, collagen remodeling, and new collagen formation.</p> <p><em>J Drugs Dermatol. 2017;16(11):1085-1090.</em></p>.
