Randomized Split-Face Controlled Study to Evaluate 1550-nm Fractionated Erbium Glass Laser for Treatment of Acne Vulgaris—An Image Analysis Evaluation

Abstract

Treatment of active acne with the 1,550-nm erbium glass laser is effective. Papules, pustules, and nodules all respond well to therapy. The sebaceous gland size decreased significantly, which accounts for the long remission period.
