Clinical benefit of using a multifractional Er:YAG laser combined with a spatially modulated ablative (SMA) module for the treatment of striae distensae: A prospective pilot study in 20 patients
ConclusionUsing Er:YAG laser (2,940 nm) with SMA technology to treat SD resulted in improved volume and textural appearance without side effects. The elasticity and thickness of the dermis also improved. The Er:YAG laser with SMA module may be considered as a novel and effective technique to treat SD lesions with minimal time recov ery.

Treatment of benign pigmented lesions using a novel Dermal Cooling System
Benign pigmented lesions are among the most common dermatologic diagnoses that patients seek treatments for. Treatment modalities range from cryotherapy to light and laser ‐based technologies. These treatments have been shown to be effective, yet may lead to dyschromia or significant downtime. Therefore, we report the first clinical experience with a novel Dermal Cooling System that provides localized and controlled freezing to benign pigmented lesions. Twenty patie nts seeking treatment for benign pigmented lesions were treated with the Dermal Cooling System at the laser and cosmetic dermatology clinic at the University...

Assessment of combined fractional CO2 and tranexamic acid in melasma treatment
ConclusionA low ‐power fractional CO2 laser is an effective, safe treatment for melasma. However, the addition of tranexamic acid (either topically or intradermally) to a fractional CO2 laser should be further studied. Lasers Surg. Med. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Soft tissue cutting efficiency by 980 nm laser with carbon‐, erbium‐, and titanium‐doped optothermal fiber converters
ConclusionAll three studied types of converters can be used for contact surgery of soft tissues by 980 nm diode laser. Er‐doped and Ti‐doped converters are more resistant to laser heating then C‐doped converter, they dissect soft tissue more effectively. This will also expand the potential of everyday routine clinical procedures, making them safer, faster, and easier. These converters can be used in general surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology, angioplasty, dentistry, neurosurgery, etc. Lasers Surg. Med. 9999:1–16, 2018. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
