Abstract
The present invention is a method of dermal abrasion, that includes exposing a source of sterile liquid to a flow of pressurized gas, thereby causing a pumped supply thereof into a fluid delivery head ( ); supplying the pressurized gas to the fluid delivery head; combining the gas, and liquid ( ) supplied to the delivery head; this fluid delivery head having a fluid outlet ( ) with a predetermined internal diameter ( ), so as to provide a gas-liquid outflow in the form of a sterile liquid mist jet suspended in a high velocity gas stream; and exposing to the mist jet, at a preselected distance from the fluid outlet, a portion of the skin surface ( ) sought to be abraded, thereby separating therefrom at least a portion of the epidermis ( ), and removing therefrom the resulting tissue debris.
