Ablative fractional laser treatment for the clinical improvement of acne vulgaris: A case series.

This article discusses the use of ablative fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatment for the improvement of acne vulgaris. Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that can lead to scarring and psychological distress. The current standard of care involves oral antibiotics or isotretinoin, but there is a need for alternative therapies due to antibiotic resistance and side effects. The study evaluated the efficacy of low-energy, low-density fractional CO2 laser treatment for active inflammatory acne vulgaris. The results showed a significant reduction in lesion count and improvement in acne severity with minimal side effects. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore the treatment's association with other acne treatments. [Extracted from the article]
