What is the Correct Settings for a Full CO2 Ablative Skin Resurfacing?

December 2, 2011
Asked By:Ricechex

I received my medical record and this was the settings: First pass done with 30 watts, 400 dwell time and 500 microseconds of spacing. The face was then feathered with a drop in dwell time to 200 microseconds. Bacitracin ointment was then applied diffusely. Is this the correct setting for a full CO2 ablative laser?
