The dermal regenerator is a common, easily operable medical tool used by several civilizations to heal minor skin wounds, such as cuts and burns. The dermal regenerator can also be used to revert surgically modified skin to its normal state, as well as to remove scars. A Guardian Sonic screwdriver had a dermal regeneration setting.

Background info[]
- In the book Star Trek: Aliens & Artifacts, Alan Sims describes how you can make your own Dermal Regenerator. The regenerator that it refers to is actually made from an electric hair brush, and was seen in VOY: "Workforce, Part I". (Seen above, version 2377)
