Abstract
In each patient, we treated Xanthoelasma with the traditional surgical excision and the CO2 laser treatment. We compared the utility of the two procedures for the treatment of Xanthoelasma.
The clinical result is equally improvement between the two treatments.
Both treatments were well tolerated by all patients, cosmetically.
We found no significant difference in the treatment result and the recurrence rate between the two procedures.
To achievet the excellent outcomes by the surgical excision, we need the experienced surgical skills. (V-Y advancement flap, Dufourmental flap etc.)
