摘要：

BACKGROUND. The carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is a surgical tool recognized for its capacity of combined simultaneous tissue transection and hemostasis without unwanted distant transmission of energy. OBJECTIVE. To determine the potential of laser-assisted rhytidectomy. METHODS. A preliminary group of 18 patients were treated for facial rejuvenation by a technique of laser-assisted rhytidectomy with excellent results. RESULTS. No major complications including hematoma were seen. CONCLUSION. Based on these initial findings, we conclude that laser-assisted rhytidectomy shows great promise for better results with diminished risks.
