“…Nehal et al 13 demonstrated that the high-energy pulsed CO 2 laser and conventional dermabrasion achieved comparable clinical improvement in the revision of surgical scars in four patients. An ultrastructural comparison of dermabrasion and pulsed CO 2 laser resurfacing in a minipig model by Campbell et al 14 revealed similar histologic and ultrastructural changes between the two modalities when performed to a similar depth.…”

“…Dermabrasion relies on mechanical ‘cold steel’ injury, acid peels result in a ‘caustic’ injury, and lasers result in a thermal injury. Studies in the porcine model comparing carbon dioxide laser, trichloracetic acid, and dermabrasion by Fitzpatrick 21 , and Campbell 22 have shown that histological and ultrastructural changes seen following these procedures are comparable A study by Giese 23 revealed that when dermabrasion was compared with chemosurgical peels, significant alterations were seen in the elastic fibres in histological and mechanical properties. Holmkvist 24 reported that half‐face perioral dermabrasion contrasted with half‐face CO 2 laser resurfacing yielded identical clinical results but that dermabrasion healed in approximately half the time with significantly less post‐operative erythema and morbidity.…”

Dermabrasion is a resurfacing procedure that has been part of dermatology for almost 100 years. With the advent of laser resurfacing in the 1990s, the art of dermabrasion has temporarily been partially eclipsed. This review article covers the history of dermabrasion, (pre-operative selection of patient equipment, the techniques and the post-operative care of dermabrasion patients. Many clinical examples are illustrated. The combination of dermabrasion with other resurfacing techniques, such as laser (CO(2 )and Erbium) and chemical peels (trichloracetic acid (TCA)) are illustrated.

“…Many have touted the beneficial collagen remodeling achieved with CO 2 laser, but one study that compared the histologic changes after dermabrasion and CO 2 laser found no difference in a porcine model. (7) Dermabrasion is a superior method for treating the recalcitrant and deeply embedded scars of severe acne.…”

Many resurfacing techniques are available to the modern facial aesthetic surgeon, and may be broadly grouped as mechanical, chemical, and laser abrasion. Each resurfacing modality has its own inherent strengths and weaknesses that make it suitable for certain defined goals. Understanding the characteristics of each type of resurfacing tool permits the surgeon to combine them effectively to achieve the desired cosmetic outcome. This paper represents the 10year experience and personal philosophy of the senior author (EFW) and reviews how he has implemented combined resurfacing techniques using the CO 2 laser, TCA peel, and wire-brush dermabrasion. Three important guidelines will determine which resurfacing modality is best suited to a particular situation: the facial subunit principle, the depth of the facial pathology (e.g., scar, rhytid, or actinic damage), and the Fitzpatrick classification of the patient's skin. Different resurfacing modalities are discussed, and three clinical scenarios for combined resurfacing are presented: acne scarring, rhinophyma, and facial rejuvenation (rhytids and actinic damage).

An Ultrastructural Comparison of Mechanical Dermabrasion and Carbon Dioxide Laser Resurfacing in the Minipig Model

Abstract: When mechanical dermabrasion or pulsed carbon dioxide laser resurfacing is used with similar-depth injury to the dermis in this model, the histological changes seen via light microscopy and ultrastructural changes seen via electron microscopy are similar between the 2 treatment modalities.
