title: Nonablative skin resurfacing.
abstract: Nonablative skin resurfacing technologies produce a controlled thermal dermal wound while protecting the epidermis. Although sophisticated measuring techniques demonstrate that most nonablative technologies result in epidermal thickening, deepening of the rete ridges, and dermal neocollagenesis, improvements resulting from nonablative techniques are not as significant as those from ablative procedures.
