Fraxel or CO2 Treatment for Steatocystoma Multiplex?

October 3, 2011
Asked By:ryan_multiplex in Wilkes Barre, PA

Two articles recently have shown CO2 laser effective for Steatocystoma multiplex. To prevent reccurence the cyst walls must be removed? Can fraxel restore / repair be used? Because fraxel removes only fractions of the skin, would only a 100% ablative CO2 laser work in removing these lesions?
