Features of use of CO2-laser with involutive skin changes depending on morphotype

Abstract

We investigated the effect of combined use of superficial and deep fractional ablation on the different morphotypes of aging of the skin. A study of the condition of the skin in 32 patients, including evaluation of the results with the use of a series of pictures of 3D visualization on the device ANTERA 3D (Ireland), a photographic documentation on the unit FotoFinder (Germany) and scale-questionnaire to assess patient satisfaction with the procedure. Patients were divided into three groups according to morphotypes of involutive changes: wrinkled, deformational and mixed. After the procedure, the following dynamics was determined: according to the results of the study, the following trend was determined: with a mixed morphotype, the satisfaction of patients is higher with the correction of wrinkles and skin quality, and with a deformation morphotype, satisfaction is higher with the texture, skin color and work with pigment disorders.
