Official Title: Comparison of 1064nm Nd:YAG Picosecond Lasers Using Fractional Micro-lens Array vs. Ablative Fractional 2940nm Er:YAG Lasers for the Treatment of Atrophic Acne Scar in Asians: a 20-week Prospective, R
Brief Summary:
The 1064-nm Nd:YAG picosecond lasers using fractional micro-lens array (P-MLA) was a promising therapy for skin resurfacing. However, no studies have compared P-MLA with ablative fractional 2940-nm Er:YAG lasers (AF-Er) in treating atrophic acne scars. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of P-MLA and AF-Er for the treatment of atrophic acne scars, we performed a prospective, randomized, split-face, controlled trial. Thirty-one Asian patients underwent four consecutive sessions of randomized split-face treatment…
