Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of conventional 2940 nm Er∶YAG laser and pixel laser combination therapy.Methods From Jan.2010 to Jun.2013,32 cases of different types of superficial scars had been treated with this combination therapy.All patients were treated with the low-power 2940 nm Er∶YAG laser,and then immediately with pixel laser at higher power.The morphological changes of the scar before and after treatment,and adverse reaction were recorded.The satisfaction of patients was collected.Results Based on imaging data,significant efficacy was achieved in 14 cases (43.8％),effective in 12 cases (37.5％),relatively effective in 5 cases (15.6％) and ineffective in 1 case (3.1 ％).The total efficacy rate of combined therapy reached 95.3 ％.Very satisfaction to the treatment was 13 cases (40.6％),satisfaction in 10 cases (31.2％),relative satisfaction in 7 cases (21.9％) and no satisfaction in 2 cases (6.3％).The total satisfactory rate reached 93.8％.The only observed side effect was the erythema reaction at irradiated area.Conclusions The combined therapy of conventional 2940 nm Er∶YAG laser and pixel laser is an uncomplicated and safe way to treat superficial scars with little reverse reaction.
