. between a fractional CO2


conducted a split-face comparative study laser system (CO2


FS) on one


side of the face and MRF on the other in 20 Asian patients suffering from active acne. They concluded that MRF and CO2


FS can be used for inflammatory acne


vulgaris patients, and that it is more convenient than the CO2


that both devices — MRF and CO2


FS because of its short downtime. They found FS — were associated


with moderate improvements in most patients, and the number of papules and pustules was significantly decreased in both sides of the face. However, there was no significant difference between the two treatment devices in terms of changes in papule and pustule counts. To get more than moderate

multiple treatments might be necessary, as with other laser devices. In some patients, a dual benefit from the treatment was noticed; a decrease in acne lesions plus an improvement in previous scarring. However, the mean down time after CO2


FS


irradiation was 11.8 days, which was five-times longer than the


2.4 days after the treatment with the MRF device. An attempt was made to treat patients twice with the same protocol, but most patients refused because of the down time and preferred to be treated with the MRF device. Transient hyperpigmentation was reported after CO2


FS


treatment, although it spontaneously resolved within 3 months. This did not occur on the MRF treated side36 The possible mechanisms of the MRF device are

similar to those of other lasers and light devices. Prieto et al37


reported that the combination of pulsed light and


RF reduces the average areas of sebaceous glands and perifollicular lymphocytic infiltration. Hantash et al10 observed increases of TGF-β, MMP-1, MMP-13, HSP72 and HSP47 after fractional RF treatment, leading to neocollagenesis and neoelastogenesis. Cytokine alteration not only leads to extracellular matrix formation, but can also affect sebaceous glands. Ruiz-Esparza et al36


suggested that deep dermal heating


with non-invasive RF treatment might inhibit the activity of sebaceous glands and stimulate dermal
