| Abstract: | Eight patients with facial syringomata have been treated with the superpulse CO2 laser and followed for periods up to 3 years. Superpulse capability allows satisfactory photovaporization of overlying skin and exposure and liberation of the underlying cyst. Healing was satisfactory with minimal scarring and no persistence or recurrence of syringomata in five of eight cases. |
