A method and a hand-held device for dermaplaning is disclosed that includes a blade assembly which includes a blade, a blade holder and a safety cage. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, the safety cage limits the amount of penetration of the blade into the facial skin to enable the device to be safely used by non-professionals. The dermaplaning device includes a vibration generator that causes the blade to vibrate at a predetermined frequency. Various embodiments of the hand-held dermaplaning device are disclosed for vibrating the blade.

A microdermabrasion system includes an applicator tool including a central handle portion with a treatment tip at a distal end of the handle, where the treatment tip includes an abrading surface formed on a front surface of the tip. A proximal end of the elongated handle is coupled to first and second arms, forming an opening in the hand piece through which a user can insert one or more fingers. The handle supports a bottom side of a user's finger while the user grips the handle. In an implementation, the handle includes an indentation for at least one finger. In an implementation, the treatment tip is removable and replaceable.

An inexpensive yet effective implement for manual debridement comprises an elongated, integrally molded hand-held member having a proximal handle with a gripping portion, a distal head portion, and a flex portion between the handle and head portions. The head portion defines a bottom surface with a plurality of fluted structures, each fluted structure featuring a sharp edge. The handle portion is angled relative to the bottom surface of the head portion. The implement is packaged in sterilized form and intended to be disposed after use. In the preferred embodiment the fluted structures define partial, truncated cones, such that sharp edge is a curve or semi-circle. The gripping portion may also include a ruler or graduated markings. The flex portion may be ribbed or accordion-shaped to enhance flexing. The proximal-most portion of the handle includes a downward curve to maintain a user's grip.

An abrasive non-pliable hygiene apparatus for smoothing a foot and method of use. The apparatus includes an abrasion sheet, frame, and engagement sheet. The abrasion sheet is composed of a non-pliable, corrosion-resistant material with a roughened top surface designed to increase abrasion efficiency between the sheet and an epidermal surface of a foot. The abrasion sheet also has bracketing members designed to engage the frame. The frame has ridge structures designed to retain the abrasion sheet and allow for user grip. Attached to the bottom of the frame, the engagement sheet facilitates friction, retaining the placement of the apparatus during use. The frame and abrasion sheet may be one structure, having at least one additional channel disposed along a side, allowing other abrasion sheets to be attached thereto.
