Laser ablation of benign TNs achieved technique efficacy at 12 months posttreatment, with clinical improvement and few minor side effects. A single fiber in a single session with a high deployed energy (>398.8 J/ml) may be associated with improved results, a finding to be confirmed with a larger series. Lasers Surg.
