Abstract
In the authors' experience, surgical repair of pitted scars, performed in conjunction with CO(2) laser resurfacing, produces no linear scars visible to the naked eye on the skin surface. Here, they describe their single-stage technique, suture-assisted resurfacing, in which, one-by-one, each ice-pick scar is incised with a triple bevel NoKor 18-gauge needle. (Aesthetic Surg J 2002;22:284-288.).
