TLDR Improved dermabrasion techniques in 1987 led to better treatment results for skin issues like acne scars.
Improvements in dermabrasion techniques in 1987 enhanced therapeutic outcomes for acne scars, sun-damaged skin, and related lesions. Key to success were thorough predermabrasion evaluations, patient selection, and standardized checklists. Optimal procedures included extensive facial planing, excision and suturing of large cysts and scars, and filling depressions with collagen or silicone. These methods, along with rigid protocols and follow-ups, helped avoid common pitfalls and improved patient compliance and therapeutic response.
