A New Micrografting Technique for Vitiligo

Several small pieces of skin, each measuring 1.75 mm in diameter will be harvested from a normal pigmented area using a commercially available suction blister device. This will be attached to a sterile elastomeric substrate and then placed on a recipient area prepared by epidermal dermabrasion (removal of the epidermis).

Only dermabrasion (removal of epidermis) alone will be done at baseline.
