Efficacy and safety of recombinant human epidermal growth factor combined with fractional carbon dioxide laser for facial atrophic acne scars: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials.
Lasers in medical science · 2026
BACKGROUND: The combination of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) and fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser therapy is increasingly used in the treatment of facial atrophic acne scars. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to systematically assess the efficacy and safety of rhEGF combined with fractional CO2 laser therapy for managing facial atrophic acne scars. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, the… Read on PubMed →
What Are the Histological Changes Corresponding to Clinical Effacement of Atrophic Acne Scars After Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Intervention-A Prospective Interventional Study in Skin of Color.
Photodermatology, photoimmunology & photomedicine · 2026
BACKGROUND: Pre-defined dose parameters of fractional carbon dioxide (Fr:CO2) laser used for acne scars are not aligned with the histological depth achieved by the laser, which predicts scar improvement. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the baseline histological depth and architecture of different acne scars and compare the histological changes and clinical improvement after Fr:CO2 laser. METHODS: We… Read on PubMed →
Comparative efficacy, recovery, and pigmentary safety of radiofrequency microneedling and fractional carbon dioxide laser for facial atrophic acne scars: a prospective randomized split-face trial.
The Journal of dermatological treatment · 2026
OBJECTIVE: To compare efficacy, recovery, pigmentary safety, and patient-reported outcomes of radiofrequency microneedling (RFMN) and fractional carbon dioxide laser (FCO2) for facial atrophic acne scars. METHODS: In this prospective, randomized, split-face, evaluator-blinded exploratory trial, 33 patients were enrolled, and 30 completed the study. Each facial side was assigned to RFMN or FCO2… Read on PubMed →
