CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>fractional laser was applied to 2\u2010month intervals until complete clearance was reached. The effect of the therapy was monitored by clinical and dermatoscopy.

In addition, 120 (8%) and 75 (5%) required second and third sessions, respectively. Only thirty nevi (2%) need more than three sessions. Consequently, at the end of one\u2010year follow\u2010up, patients' (97%) and physicians' (95%) GAS scores were rated as excellent and good, respectively. Moreover, hyper\/hypopigmentation, fibrosis, dimples, erythema, and scars were observed as side effects at the 1\u2010year follow\u2010up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>laser is effective in completely removing small acquired junctional melanocytic nevus.
