title: Aesthetic skin resurfacing with the high-energy ultrapulsed CO2 laser.
abstract: CO2 laser resurfacing, using the new generation high-energy output pulsed lasers, provides a highly accurate method of resurfacing and rejuvenating facial skin. Its applications are widespread and well accepted by the general population (Color Figs. 3 to 8). Complications may occur, which may be minimized through adequate laser training and appreciation of the mechanisms of skin healing.
