Abstract
We compared a cw carbon dioxide flash-scanning laser system to an Er:Y AG laser in laser skin resurfacing of facial rhytides. In all patients , CO2 laser treatment showed a better cosmetic result whereas erythema and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation were less marked in Er:YAG las er therapy.
