“…Improvement was judged as none, mild (improvement in skin texture without any improvement in rhytides), moderate (improvement in texture with lessening of rhytides), or excellent (improvement in texture with total resolution of rhytides) [3]. All biopsies were evaluated by both standard and electron microscopy for changes in dermal collagen and collagen density.…”

“…187,189,190 The erbium:YAG laser, developed to reduce the morbidity associated with CO 2 laser resurfacing, 187 has demonstrated comparable results with fewer side effects in some studies. 148 The biochemical changes seen after CO 2 laser resurfacing include increased mRNA of several cytokines (IL-1b, TNF-a, and TGF-b1), type I and type III procollagen, and MMPs. 191 Undesired effects of ablative systems include hypertrophic scar formation and pigmentary alterations.…”

“…20 The erbium laser was introduced for clinical use in the latter part of the 1990s. 17,18,19,20,21,22 This laser has the highest absorption coefficient for water among ablative lasers and given its particular tissue interaction characteristics, it is touted to provide many of the benefits of CO 2 laser treatment with reduced unfavorable sequelae. This may be related to the favorable thermal relaxation times achievable with the Er:YAG platforms compared to the CO 2 platforms.…”
