title: Microepidermabrasion: an adjunct to medical skin care.
abstract: Microepidermabrasion has become a common modality in aesthetic skin care in doctor's offices as well as in the hands of skin care specialists. The basics of particle beam resurfacing are discussed, with an emphasis on patient selection, technique, and after care. Concerns about current technology are reviewed, and insight into the evolution of new technologies is given.
