title: Clinical, histologic, and ultrastructural changes after nonablative treatment with a 595-nm flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser: comparison of varying settings.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The flashlamp-pulsed dye laser has been used for nonablative dermal remodeling.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  We conducted a study analyzing the clinical, histologic, and electron microscopic findings after treatment with different flashlamp-pulsed dye laser settingss in the same subject.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Most subjects showed mild to moderate improvement after flashlamp-pulsed dye laser laser treatment. There was no statistical difference in the clinical, histologic, or electron microscopic findings with a variety of laser treatment settings.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Nonablative dermal remodeling can be accomplished with not only a variety of different technologies, but also with the same laser using markedly different settings.
