What is the difference between the conventional technique and the laser technique?
In conventional technique, a knife is used to cut the skin and remove the underlying fat. The skin is then closed with either regular or dissolvable sutures. In laser technique, CO2 laser is used to cut the skin and remove a thin strip of muscle and fat. Then stitches are placed to make the crease and close the skin. The stitches on the skin dissolve by themselves after a week or 10 days. Regular stitches may also be used.
