Beads of the material that is commercially purveyed as Debrisan were used as a postoperative dressing after dermabrasion in 24 patients. Fifteen of seventeen patients so dressed on only half of the dermabraded area expressed preference for it. The beads absorbed drainage and were protective of the dermabraded half. Five of the seventeen patients developed milia one month after dermabrasion and three of the five had them only on the side treated with the beads of Debrisan.
