Physiopathology
• Adult prevalence (USA 1999)
women 14%, men 11%
• Efficient prevention/grading /rapid cares
risk evaluation
– Family cases : premature and prolonged acne
– Perifollicular elastolysis (Staph.) : bacteria
– Gravity of dermis lesions : intensity and duration
of the inflammation
– Complex personal abnormalities of tissue repair
(cell to cell or cell to cytokine)
MMPs hyperactivity (atrophy)
TIMPs hyperactivity ou MMPs failure (hypertrophy)
TGFβ subunits or IL -notably IL-6- abnormalities
Keratinocytes abnormalities or K/FB regulation failures
MMPs

Classification – French group « expert
acné »
– Atrophic scars
– Hypertrophic scars
– Red or pigmented mackles (transient)
Atrophic scars
• « Ice pick » or « V-shaped » scars
Epithelialized, vertical, deep and thin
holes
< 2 mm
cheeks
• « boxcar » or « U-shaped » scars
Clear and steep edges and regular and
flat bottom
2-4 mm
• « rolling » or « M-shaped » scars
Soft edges depressions, irregular surface
> 4 mm
Tissue : Soft and pilable
Scars : easily stretched, not fibrotic
Atrophic scars
• Perifollicular elastolysis
Small rounded white spots
Soft consistency
Epidermidis staphylococci (elastase
secreting)
Hypertrophic scars
• Simple
Not exceeding margins / initial lesions
Regressive between 12-18 months
• Keloids
Exceeding margins
Prethoracical region, nucha or mandible
Dystrophic scars
• Complex
with cords, bridges, intradermal
epithelialized tunnels,
multipore comedones, large
plaques of fibrosis with
achromia
and often a persistent
inflammatory disease

• Infra red, « non ablative » lasers
Used for 10 years, their principles are
– Deep penetration
sufficient dermis thermal alteration / sparing the epidermis
to launch all the dermis cascades of wound healing
processes and…to have remodeling effects
– 1320, 1450, 1540 …nm lasers at first marketed only for NA
dermal remodeling
too modest and slow results
non visible on photos…
« not reproducible »
now used for retentional acne
– LP HP 1064 nm Nd-YAG lasers (new generation of Nd-YAG
lasers/dermatologist offices)

Chronology of wound healing after FP
1h : MTZs and dermal collagen denaturation, HSP 70 expression
1 day : Formation of MEND, basal epidermal stem cells (reepithelialization)
3-5 days : MEND elimination, TGF béta pu-regulation
1 week : MEND exfoliation, collagen type III synthesis
1 month : collagen type III replaced by collagen type I
3 months : Complete replacement of MTZs by neocollagenesis
Sufficient biological accounts / efficient « visible » clinical results ???
Does penetration depth matter for better results? (ongoing study)

Fibroblast stimulation
• How it works with fractional CO2?
– Ablative events : wound healing cascades and apoptosis, settlement
new FB
– Heat mediated events : collagen denaturation, dehydration, loss of
glycosaminoglycans between fibers…(immediate transient shrinkage) and
delayed myofibroblast response (second persistent contraction)
•
•
Enhanced fibroplasia thickness per μ depth of injury versus other modalities with less or no
RTD (mechnical, chemical or « cold » lasers DB…)
Better benefit-risk ratio / scarring
• Role of energy (right parameters?) CO2 laser / to enhance
wound healing, to modulate KF phenotype
– Ablation depth?
– Thermal damage depth?
