We describe layer-by-layer char-free facial skin resurfacing at very low CO2 laser power levels with a miniature "SilkTouch" microprocessor-controlled optomechanical flashscanner. This device provides excellent ablation depth control with minimal thermal damage to the dermis. Indications for the laser in aesthetic surgery include perioral, lips, and periorbital wrinkles, among others.
