Lecture given to FACE conference in London 2008 by Dr. Patrick Treacy MD of the Cosmetic Medical Group on fractional CO2 lasers. As patients continue the trend of seeking less invasive procedures with lower downtime and associated risks, fractionalised carbon dioxide (CO2) laser skin resurfacing with newer generation lasers such as the Lumenis ActiveFx or the Deka SmartXide DOT has become an important component of facial rejuvenation surgery. This recent behavioural change in patient attitude has largely been prompted by a realisation, by both doctors and patients, that the much hyped radiofrequency type non-ablative methods are not comparable with ablative skin resurfacing and are often subject to extravagant claims in terms of efficacy.
