Description
Summary:Histological data on microscopic treatment zones are essential for evaluating procedure safety and effectiveness. To date, no studies have histologically compared low-temperature plasma with other techniques. In this study, two square areas on the patient’s abdomen, referred to as area A and area B, were with low-temperature plasma and fractional CO2 laser, respectively. A biopsy was taken immediately after treatment. When applied to thinner skin regions, plasma technology appears to result in fewer complications, a faster recovery, and fewer side effects during the application period. However, further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
