Since the development of variable carbon dioxide laser system, the use of carbon dioxide laser in medical fields has been considerably expanded so as to resurface the skin with actinic damage, rhytides, acne scarring and exophytic skin lesions. Recent improvements in carbon dioxide laser technology have made the laserbrasion procedure simpler and more reliable, and enabled to evaporate the target tissue with minimal thermal damage and thus eliminated the problem of nonspecific thermal injury.
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the efficacy of laserbrasion with SilkTouch system. We treated 96 patients who had various scars such as acne scar, postburn scar, shallow depressed scar, small pox scar, postinflammatory scar and chicken pox scar. 
We concluded that laserbrasion with SilkTouch system brought satisfactory improvements of facial contour and minimal complications and may offer significant advantages over other techniques such as dermabrasion and chemical peeling.
