Abstract

Dermatography is the application of medical tattooing techniques. In the past, similar techniques were tried but none led to reproducible results. This study deals with the negative effects of CO2-(Er:YAG) laser treatment used for cosmetic facial resurfacing. These effects can be subdivided into two categories: the sequelae of poor (post-)operative techniques, and the inadequacy of postoperative treatment modalities. Dermatography has been applied to treat the adverse effects successfully.
