Abstract
The UltraPulse carbon dioxide laser with CPG scanner was utilized to deepithelialize dermal pedicles in breast reduction inferior pedicle flaps. Clinical advantages include lack of bleeding, markedly shortened time of dissection, and excellent wound healing. Histologic studies confirm that the laser removes epidermis and papillary dermis but leaves undamaged the superficial vascular plexus and reticular dermis.
