Abstract
Fractional resurfacing has become an increasingly popular treatment for photodamage. Non-ablative and ablative fractional
resurfacing modalities both have a variety of different devices that may be utilized for treatments. Each modality has its own benefits
and drawbacks. In this article, the authors offer preliminary observations from hands-on experience with several different ablative
fractional lasers presently available.
