The picosecond laser with the microlens array (MLA) has been used for the treatment of scars, striae, and rejuvenation. The MLA is an optical hand attachment for the picosecond laser that allows for the delivery of focal zones of highly concentrated energy.
Fractional CO2 laser skin resurfacing is an internationally recognized technique to improve acne scars. As the name suggests, only a fraction of the skin is treated. The benefit of this approach is quicker healing and fewer side effects compared to fully-ablative laser treatment.
