... total of 11 Korean patients who underwent treatment with the pinhole method at our clinic were included in this study. Patient clinical characteristics are shown in Table 1. All patients were treated with a single session of the pin- hole 4.0 method using 10,600-nm CO2 lasers (Ultrapulse ® Encore Laser; Lumenis, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA and eCO2 ® Laser; Lutronic, Inc., Goyang, South Korea). ...

... The pinhole method consists of making multiple microscopic holes in the target lesion with a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser [6][7][8], and has been used to treat various types of scars. Previous studies have shown that it is convenient and safe, and results in less bleeding and oozing and a shorter recovery time [7]. ...
... The pinhole method involves using a CO2 laser to make microscopic holes that penetrate from the epidermis to the deeper dermis [6][7][8][9][10][11]. This method not only breaks down irregular and thick collagen bundles by physical breakage and thermal damage, but also induces regeneration and remodeling of dermal connective tissues, improving skin texture [6][7][8][9]. ...

This method not only breaks down irregular and thick collagen bundles by physical breakage and thermal damage, but also induces regeneration and remodeling of dermal connective tissues, improving skin texture [6][7][8][9]. In addition, the operator can adjust the penetration depth and interval depending on the lesion with the pinhole method, thus it has advantage treating disoriented, irregular skin lesions than fractional CO2 lasers which have equivalent penetration depth and restricted beam sizes [9,10]. ...
... 1 The most common etiologies requiring burn center admission are fire/flame (43%), followed narrowly by scalds (34%), contact with hot objects (9%), electricity (4%), and chemical agents (3%). 2 Burns often cause extensive skin defects, resulting in loss of skin barrier function and inflammation. [3][4][5][6][7][8] Therefore, the wound healing time caused by burns and scalds is long, the prognosis is poor and the function recovery is poor. ...
