A device for microdermoabrasion using a flow of a mixture of air and reducing substances, the device including a casing with a vacuum pump and a compressor at an interior of the casing. The device further having a control footswitch for actuating the compressor, a mixing bulb and a collecting bulb at an exterior of the casing, and a handpiece extending between the mixing bulb and the collecting bulb. The mixing bulb contains a mixture of air and reducing substances. The mixing bulb, the handpiece and the collecting bulb are monoblocks and are contained in a single cylinder block which is detachably connected to the casing. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention uses new conception components, particularly tempered pyrex glass, to allow ease of manufacture and simplification of equipment sterilization. Sterilization of the parts that have been in contact with human tissue particles may be effected with different techniques, for example in an autoclave or under UV rays. These parts may be sterilized quickly and may be replaced in a few seconds by appropriate spare-parts supplied with the equipment. This operation may be executed by an unspecialized operator. The present invention includes a handpiece that may be used, after suitable changes, on other equipment for microdermoabrasion. In particular, the handpiece described may be advantageously used with the equipment of the present invention, which is usable in applications of traditional microdermoabrasion, for example: acne scars; light wrinkles and long sun exposure wrinkles; disfiguring scars; stretch marks; hyperpigmentation; tatoos; burns. A lightweight handpiece, as provided by the present invention, allows increased maneuverability in executing the treatments and a better operative sensitivity. The sliding of the handpiece over a surface of the skin occurs in a soft and regular way. Due to the geometry of the handpiece, the deposit of crystals on the patients' skin is reduced. Also, faster and easier cleaning of the parts in comparison to the traditional metallic handpieces is achieved. The geometry of the handpiece and the materials used for the components eliminate or make almost negligible any obstruction of the handpiece. In particular, the low friction value between the reducing crystals and the pyrex glass, the particular structure of the handpiece (a monoblock without sharp jutting corners, or edges along the passage in which the crystals flow), the placement of the nozzle, the way the nozzle is connected to the rest of the handpiece, and the simple and efficacious mixture of air and reducing crystals leaves this equipment free from obstructions
