Abstract
Background: Dermal microcoring extracts cores of skin that are small enough to allow healing in a scarless fashion. Its use has been reported in the treatment of skin laxity, rhytides, and textural abnormalities.
Objective: To report the authors' clinical experience using dermal microcoring in a variety of cases.
Materials and methods: A retrospective chart review was performed looking at dermal microcoring cases for any indication between August 2022 and March 2024.
Results: Thirty-eight patients were treated. Overall, 32 (84.2%) patients were women, with median age of 67 years (R: 20-80 years). Fitzpatrick skin types I to V were represented. Among patients with adequate photographs for review, improvements of grade 3 and 4 (good and excellent) were seen in 85.7% (n = 18/21) treated for skin laxity and rhytides, 50.0% (n = 3/6) treated for acne scars, 66.7% (n = 2/3) treated for traumatic or surgical scars, and 100.0% (n = 3/3) treated for foreign material. Six (15.4%) patients experienced erythema or hyperpigmentation lasting more than 4 weeks, and 2 (5.1%) patients experienced temporary focal scarring, which improved with intralesional therapy and laser treatment. No patients experienced permanent dyspigmentation, prolonged edema, or infection.
Conclusion: Dermal microcoring has been demonstrated to safely and effectively treat skin laxity, rhytides, scars, and foreign material.
