Combined fractional carbon dioxide laser and long-pulsed neodymium : yttrium-aluminium-garnet (1064 nm) laser in treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa; a prospective randomized intra-individual controlled study.

Combination of fractional CO2 laser and long pulsed Nd : YAG (1064 nm) laser in treatment of HS had higher improvement and patient's satisfaction together with lower recurrence compared with long pulsed Nd : YAG (1064 nm) laser alone. Better results could be achieved with low PGA, non-obese populations, and absence of surgeries for the lesions.
