A split-face study of intense pulsed light on photoaging skin in Chinese population.

abstract：:Rapidly expanding laser technology has created a void in surgical instrumentation when the carbon dioxide laser is applied to intra-abdominal microlaser fertility-promoting procedures. By using proper instruments, the laser microsurgeon will be able to enhance his surgical technique as well as reduce his frustrations....
