“…Batstone and Millard think that dermal changes secondary to chemical peeling are much deeper than those from dermabrasion and that deep effects from caustic chemicals account for longer benefit from chemical peeling. It has been my own clinical observation that dermabrasion done for fine wrinkling also results in enduring benefit if patients then avoid excessive exposure to sunshine.…”

An animal model was designed to compare the histology of the injuries resulting from dermabrasion and various escharotics presently used for face peeling. The results suggest that dermabrasion, although a superficial wounding process, leads to deep dermal and subcutaneous injuries. The deep dermal wound probably accounts for the correction of actinically damaged skin and wrinkling so often seen after dermabrasion. The injuries after peels were proportional to the concentration of the acid used: 50% phenol being stronger than 50% trichloracetic acid, which is stronger than 25% trichloracetic acid. The effects of epideraml irritants such as croton oil, the effects of occlusion, and the dose-dependent responses of phenol are all presented and discussed.
