'Down to Earth' Manual Spot Dermabrasion With Sand Paper - Experience from a Dermatological Center in Nigeria
Manual Spot Dermabrasion With Sand Paper
Abstract
Dermabrasion can be utilized to remove blemishes scars and freckles from the skin. Standard methods
and equipments used in developed countries are not available locally in Nigeria, for economic reasons.
We have described our local experience on 12 patients using a method utilizing sand paper long
described but not yet tried here. The technique which is readily available and affordable using sand paper
rolled on syringes was tried at our dermatology center. The cosmetic results are quite encouraging.
