title: [Laser skin resurfacing. Er:YAG laser and cw-CO2 laser with scanner system in direct comparison].
abstract: We compared a cw carbon dioxide flash-scanning laser system to an Er:YAG laser in laser skin resurfacing of facial rhytides. In all patients, CO2 laser treatment showed a better cosmetic result whereas erythema and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation were less marked in Er:YAG laser therapy.
