Abstract

Skin aging caused from chronological and photodamage processes results in many alterations in skin appearance. In many circumstances, patients who pursue CO₂ laser resurfacing for facial rejuvenation are also concerned with other photoaging alternations that are beyond the efficacy of the CO₂ laser. We demonstrated an approach to aged facial skin by using combined treatments of appropriate lasers.
