Abstract
BACKGROUND The current nursing procedure after fractional carbon dioxide (fCO2) is complex and needs to be optimized. The present study was conducted to evaluate the assisting effect of filament coating system after fCO2 laser treatment. METHODS Chinese individuals aged from 18 to 65 years diagnosed as photoaging or atrophic acne scar were recruited and each participant was treated with one single pass of fCO2 laser. A split face was randomly assigned as treatment side or control side. For control side, conventional procedure was topically applied respectively, including desonide cream two times for 3 days, fusidic acid cream two times for 7 days, and recombinant human epidermal growth factor (RhEGF) gel four times for 7 days; for treating side, a filament coating system was applied immediately after one application of fusidic acid cream, desonide cream and RhEGF, and removed 3 h later, for 3 days. Erythema, edema, crust, and pain on both sides were scored from 0 to 10 before and 1, 2, 4, and 7 days after fCO2 laser treatment. Stratum corneum hydration (SCH) and sebum of forehead and cheek on both sides were also measured by using Corneometer-Sebumeter. RESULTS Twenty photoaging and 11 atrophic acne scar participants finished the observation. All of them complained of erythema, edema, crust, and pain after fCO2 laser treatment, and the scores decreased as time passed by. There were no statistical significances of erythema, edema, crust, pain, SCH, and sebum between treating side and control side at each observation time. CONCLUSION Filament coating system was effective, safe, convenient, and economic in assisting recovery of ablative fCO2 laser, which might be a new option for additional nursing procedure.

Abstract
Atrophic acne scars are the most common cutaneous seqaule of acne vulgaris, representing 80%-90% of all acne scars. Ablative fractional carbon dioxide (FCO2 ) laser is the gold standard treatment for atrophic scars. Additionally, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is suggested to accelerate the healing process and collagen synthesis. The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the efficacy and safety of PRP combined with Ablative FCO2 laser in the treatment of moderate to severe atrophic acne scars. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that have compared PRP in combination with ablative FCO2 laser to ablative FCO2 laser alone with respect to the efficacy and safety measures were included. We have systematically explored Embase, Medline, and CENTRAL databases via Ovid. The outcomes that our systematic review sought to evaluate were clinical improvement, patient satisfaction, and Goodman and Baron's qualitative acne scar score. The dichotomous outcomes were presented as odds ratio (OR) while the continuous outcomes were presented as standardized mean difference (SMD). Eleven RCTs that represents 313 participants were included. The combined use of laser and PRP showed a statistically significant clinical improvement and patient satisfaction compared to the use of laser alone (OR = 2.56, 95% CI 1.37-4.78 and OR = 3.38, 95% CI 1.80-6.34, respectively). Also, a significant improvement in Goodman and Baron's score was achieved by combining PRP with laser (SMD = -0.40, 95% CI -0.65 to -0.14). The combined treatment of laser and PRP was highly synergistic, effective, and safe in treating moderate to severe atrophic acne scars.

Abstract
Objective There are several clinical cases on the application of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapies. To improve disadvantages such as the inability to be standardized and stored long term, we proposed a novel platelet-lyophilized treatment (PLT) to enhance the wound healing rate and improve acne scarring. Study Design A single-blinded study at a single health care center was performed. All subjects were treated with a fractional carbon dioxide laser. On the right side of the face, 2 mL PLT solution (dissolved in normal saline) was applied, while on the left side of the face (control group), 2 mL normal saline was applied. The treatment described above was repeated every 3 to 4 weeks, and 4 treatments were performed in total. Assessments were performed prior to each treatment and at the one-month follow-up after the fourth treatment. Subjective assessments included questionnaires administered by the principal investigator and a self-assessment questionnaire completed by the subjects. Moreover, VISIA complexion analysis was used for objective data collection, and spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, UV spots, brown spots, red areas, and porphyrins were objectively analyzed. Results Our data indicated that the PLT side showed a more rapid recovery than the saline side; on average, the sloughing off of the crusts was noted on day 5 and day 6. The improvement rate for skin spots, texture, and pores was significantly increased on the PLT side, with the pigment and pore size both having a statistically significant improvement of p<0.001, while the texture had a significant improvement of p<0.01. Conclusion The results suggested that the application of PLT could be a novel method to enhance wound healing and improve acne scarring after laser skin rejuvenation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Ablative fractional laser treatment has been used to improve the color and texture of hypertrophic scars with safe and effective results. However, no consensus on the optimal time to initiate fractional laser treatment is available. The effect on early-stage scars remains controversial. This study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of ablative fractional carbon dioxide (CO2 ) laser treatments for hypertrophic burn scars and to analyze the efficacy and safety in the early period within 3 months after injury. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective study of 221 hypertrophic scar patients. According to the time of the first laser treatment after injury, patients were divided into five subgroups, including less than 1 month, 1-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, and more than 12 months postinjury. One month after the last laser treatment, the scars were assessed by photography, the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), durometry, and spectrocolorimetry. RESULTS The patients included 118 males and 103 females. The average age was 33.6 years. Fire/flame was the primary injury source. Thirty-six percent of the patients underwent at least one fractional CO2 laser treatment. All the included patients, including those treated within 1 month after injury, had significantly decreased VSS scores after laser treatment. We also noted that hardness and redness scores were decreased after treatment for both scars treated within 3 months and those treated more than 12 months after injury. Seepage (17.6%), bleeding (22.2%), and swelling (9.0%) were the main adverse events after laser treatment. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the safety and efficacy of ablative fractional CO2 laser treatment applied to early-stage burn scars. The optimal time for laser application for burn patients can be within 1 month after injury. Durometry and spectrocolorimetry were effective for assessing scars as objective modalities. Lasers Surg.
