Abstract:
Microdermabrasion is a new skin resurfacing modality rapidly gaining popularity among the aesthetic surgery patient population. It produces a superficial wound to the skin, comparable with alpha hydroxy acid treatment clinically and histologically. Advantages include fast results, no anesthetic requirement, safety, and rapid recovery time. Equipment costs and training requirements are modest. Microdermabrasion will likely earn an important place in the skin resurfacing armamentarium.
