Dermabrasion.
Abstract
Dermabrasion is a mechanical, "cold steel" method of removing the epidermis and creating an upper to mid-dermal wound. The subsequent restructuring of collagen and a freshly resurfaced epidermis yields excellent results in actinically damaged, aged, and scarred skin. Preoperative and postoperative management to optimize wound healing are well established and predictable, and morbidity and complications are infrequently encountered.
