Tuberous sclerosis is a disease characterised by convulsive seizures, mental deficiency and angiofibromas. These angiofibromas are hamartomas consisting of hyperplastic connective and vascular tissue. A case is reported where multiple angiofibromas of the face resulted in significant disfigurement. The lesions were treated by shaving and dermabrasion; the short-term result was very satisfactory.
Clinicians have an obligation to make sure that patients are adequately informed and understand, first, the general risks involved in any elective procedure, and, second, whether there are any features in their medical profiles that pose greater risks or pose the possibility of greater benefits than the average patient. Patients must understand the concepts of general risk, the possibility of unpredictable events happening randomly, and their own personal risk of having this happen. The remainder of the article deals with the information regularly provided to patients who show an interest in dermabrasions or chemical peels.
A simple, easy and effective wound closure following dermabrasion was carried out by fixation of Transite over the Epidermal-cutaneous defect and Allevyn over this Mesh-Graft-Like biologic dressing. Transite shows very little adherence to the wound surface. It is not damaging the wound at removal. The dressing removal is painless.

A case of progressive scleromyxedema is described in a 61-year-old man. He was treated with dermabrasion of the nose and forehead, which resulted in cosmetic improvement. The patient had systemic symptoms including transient aphasia, memory loss, near-syncopal episodes, and respiratory difficulty following treatment.
Seven patients with lichen amyloidosus were treated with dermabrasion during the last seven years. All patients have had follow-up examinations for at least five years (one patient for seven years). The main symptom, itching, disappeared in all cases, and the clinical results were satisfactory, except for mild hyperpigmentary and depigmentary changes in the treated areas.
A method for treating congenital giant naevi in the first few weeks of life by mechanical dermabrasion is described. From reports in the literature and from our 2 cases it would seem that this is a very effective method for removing pigmentation early in life. The cosmetic deformity of these lesions is eradicated and their malignant potential possibly minimized.
Dermabrasion of breast skin resulted in a hyperpigmented area creating a nipple-areola complex in a black patient without the need for a skin graft. Satisfactory hyperpigmentation in patients with light skin might occur with ultraviolet light supplementation.
This article describes the method of dermabrasion and results obtained in various types of dermatologic conditions. Indications for surgery, appropriate patient selection, adjunctive surgical procedures, potential complications, and recent controversies are also addressed.
Dermabrasion was carried out in 5 patients with severe Darier's disease. All patients improved significantly within the treated areas. In general, over 75% of the dermabraded skin remained free of disease for more than 2-1/2 years after surgery. It is suggested that skinplaning should include the entire papillary dermis in order to obtain the beneficial effect.
Dermabrasion utilizing wire brushes and Fluro-Ethyl refrigerant anesthesia is an effective way of ameliorating a variety of epidermal and dermal defects. Familiarization with proper equipment and technique is imperative. The overall incidence of troublesome complications is relatively low and is offset by the considerable value of the procedure. The patient is spared the hazards of general anesthesia and hospitalization.
Skin resurfacing by dermabrasion was largely abandoned in the 1980s because of its long and painful recovery period. Moist environment hydrogel dressing systems suddenly allowed rapid and painless recovery. This article discusses the revitalized role of the procedure in modern surgical usage.
This article includes a description of the method of dermabrasion and a discussion of the results obtained in various types of dermatologic conditions. Indications for surgery, appropriate patient selection, adjunctive surgical procedures, potential complications, comparative modalities, and some recent controversies also are addressed.
The authors report case of lipoid proteinosis. This is an autosomal recessive genetic disease involving the skin and mucous membranes. Skin lesions have a granular appearance, with infiltration and wrinkling of the skin, especially on the face. The authors show the success of dermabrasion on skin lesions on the face of a 21-year-old girl displaying typical symptoms of lipoid proteinosis.
