Objective. Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common condition which can frequently be cosmetically disturbing. Topical treatments can be used with limited efficacy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser for the treatment of KP.Patients and Methods. A prospective, randomized, single-blinded, intraindividual comparative study was conducted on adult patients with KP. A single session of fractional CO2laser was performed to one side of arm whereas the contralateral side served as control. Patients were scheduled for follow-up at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment. Clinical improvement was graded subjectively by blinded dermatologists. Patients rated treatment satisfaction at the end of the study.Results. Twenty patients completed the study. All patients stated that the laser treatment improved KP lesions. At 12-week follow-up, 30% of lesions on the laser-treated side had moderate to good improvement according to physicians’ global assessment (p=0.02). Keratotic papules and hyperpigmentation appeared to respond better than the erythematous component. Four patients with Fitzpatrick skin type V developed transient pigmentary alteration.Conclusions. Fractional CO2laser treatment may be offered to patients with KP. Dark-skinned patients should be treated with special caution.

Initial Clearance

This study reports 30 resistant cases of acne vulgaris that were treated by carbon dioxide laser. The patients range in age from 13 to 26 years old. The lesions treated were all types of acne, which included cysts, nodules, papules, pustules, black heads, and white heads. The results were gratifying, with a quick initial clearance of the lesion; no scar or changing of skin texture was observed in most of the cases. These results could suggest another, not previously reported, application of the carbon dioxide laser in the field of medicine.

Ablative Laser

Primary anetoderma is a rare elastolytic disorder characterized by well-circumscribed flaccid, atrophic macules and patches caused by focal loss of elastic fibers. Anetoderma is divided into two forms: primary, which is idiopathic and occurs on clinically normal skin, and secondary, which follows a prior dermatosis. Although it is indolent, the lesions of anetoderma persist and may be associated with significant aesthetic changes causing potential psychosocial difficulties. Anetoderma has been successfully treated with ablative, pulsed dye and non-ablative fractionated lasers. Patients with secondary anetoderma and anetoderma limited to a relatively small body surface area may be more amenable to laser treatment than patients with extensive involvement.
