Microsurgical treatment of nevus of Ota.

A new micropeeling technique for treating nevus of Ota has been performed on 32 patients over a 3-year period. This technique was conducted by including unique implementations: instrumentally by using special one-by-one-toothed microforceps, and technically by incorporating an accurate system of incising and removing evenly spaced skin sections under a microscope. As a result, precise removal at the desired skin depth is obtained, with healing generally superior to that yielded by conventional techniques.
