A dermal regnerator (2369)
A different version (2374)
A different version (2376)
A different version (2377)
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.
Examples of usage
- Dukat used a dermal regenerator to remove a scar from Kira Meru's face. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night")
- In 2369, Commander Riker suffered delusions brought on by Tilonians trying to get Starfleet secrets from him; in the delusions, Dr. Crusher used a dermal regenerator to heal a cut on his head repeatedly. He used the fact that the cut would reappear after it was healed, to identify that he was hallucinating. (TNG: "Frame of Mind")
- In 2374, Seven of Nine of Voyager used a dermal regenerator to heal tissue burns caused by subnucleonic radiation. (VOY: "One")
- In 2376, Kelis cut B'Elanna Torres's arm to lower her fever, she told him to run the dermal regenerator over her arm to heal the scrapes. (VOY: "Muse")
- In 2377, to hide small sub-dermal communicators, the Doctor used a dermal regenerator to grow skin over the communicators in the palms of Neelix and commander Chakotay. (VOY: "Workforce, Part I")
- Later on Quarra, Chakotay used a dermal regenerator to remove temporary cosmetic changes to reveal that he was human. (VOY: "Workforce, Part II")

Background info
- In the book Star Trek: Aliens & Artifacts, Alan Sims descibes 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)
- Several different props have been used to represent the Dermal regenerator, including, ironicly, the prop that represents the Laser scalpel.
