Abstract
Microabrasion, which abrades the epidermis but does not extend into the dermis, is a mild level of injury that is useful in treating dull, rough texture; dyschromias; comedonal acne; keratosis pilaris; distensible acne scars; and fine lines. Results vary with the use of positive or negative pressure, choice of abrasive crystals, and operator technique. (Aesthetic Surg J 2003;23:137-139.).
