OBJECTIVES:
As a premalignant condition, actinic cheilitis requires therapy, and multiple treatment
modalities have been described. Although frequently reported in Angloamerican literature,
CO(2) laser vaporization for the treatment of actinic cheilitis is scarcely mentioned in
German journals. We report 19 cases of CO(2) laser treatment of actinic cheilitis.
In only one case, the ablation proved to be too superficial after the first treatment.
Except in this case we did not see any recurrences and only one case with minor
scarring within a median follow up period of 16 months. In comparison with other
treatment modalities, we consider the CO(2) laser ablation to be
a safe and cost-saving method with excellent cosmetic results.
