The main questions it aims to answer are: Does ablative fractional carbon dioxide treatment effectively treat moderate to severe active nodular acne vulgaris? Does ablative fractional carbon dioxide treatment effectively treat moderate to severe active nodular acne vulgaris over a short time frame? Is non-selective laser useful in treating inflammatory skin disease? How does the microbiome change after laser treatment?
