Abstract

Suction blistered epidermal graft is a less painful and minimally scarring method that is applicable to various skin diseases, especially vitiligo. The time needed for the suction blister formation is dependent on many factors such as temperature, suction pressure, age, skin site or skin thickness. Among them, the temperature and suction pressure are the most important factors. We report four cases of focal vitiligo treated by suction blistered epidermal graft using the device having the capability of heat itself by intrinsic heating system.
