Motorized dermabrader
A high-speed motorized handpiece with an interchangeable tip (diamond fraise or wire brush) that mechanically abrades the superficial layers of the skin.
How it is used
Used in dermabrasion to treat acne scars, rhinophyma, and superficial skin lesions, smoothing skin texture through controlled abrasion.
Clinical tip
Rotation speed and applied pressure must be tightly controlled, since excessive depth can reach the reticular dermis and cause scarring.
