Abstract
The authors point out that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) increases tissue perfusion and may effectively treat or prevent ischemia in flaps. They recommend application of topical DMSO every 4 to 6 hours, until blood flow improves, to areas that show signs of ischemia or less than adequate perfusion. Other potential cosmetic surgery uses of DMSO include areas of skin care, pain relief, and treatment of keloids.
