The invention relates to a hand-held microneedling device (1; 20) for local puncturing of a skin, comprising a housing (2); a drive device which is arranged in the housing (2) and is configured to provide a drive force; a skin puncturing device (6); a microneedling puncturing tool (8) which is formed on the skin puncturing device (6) and is connected to the drive device such that, during operation, the microneedling puncturing tool (8) can be moved back and forth at a repetition rate by means of the drive force; and a needle plate (9) which is formed on the microneedling puncturing tool (8) and on which a plurality of puncturing needles (10) are arranged distributed over a front-side application surface (11); wherein, during operation, the microneedling puncturing tool (8) can be moved back and forth, between a front working position and a rear working position which is retracted in comparison thereto, by means of the drive force at the repetition rate. Furthermore, a skin puncturing device (6) for a hand-held microneedling device and an article are provided.

A skin treatment device and a method to cleanse and balance pH value of skin. The skin treatment device includes a nozzle to be directed into contact with the skin of a subject. A vacuum pump may be operably coupled to the nozzle for generating a suction force of the nozzle to evacuate impurities from the skin. A liquid replenishing assembly may be operably coupled to the nozzle for atomizing liquid at a pre-defined pH value. The liquid from the liquid replenishing assembly may pass into the nozzle based on the pre-defined pH value. The first control valve may be connected to an outlet of the vacuum pump and an outlet of the liquid replenishing assembly for communication with the nozzle.

Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, kits, and methods for treating skin, such as skin tightening or for treating diseases, disorders, and conditions that would benefit from tissue area or volume reduction, skin restoration, skin tightening, skin lifting, and/or skin repositioning and/or for generally improving skin function or appearance (e.g., the removal of unwanted skin features or irregularities such as sebaceous glands, sweat glands, hair follicles, necrosis, and fibrosis). Such apparatuses, systems, kits, and methods comprise an apparatus having a handheld main body and a detachably attachable tip comprising one or more needles.

The invention relates to a method for cosmetically treating dark spots on the skin, wherein said method is intended for eliminating at least one of said dark spots located in a region of the hand, the face, the limbs or the chest area of a person suffering from such skin hyperpigmentation, characterised in that said method includes a step of applying a spray of cryogenic fluid to said region, which brings the skin temperature to a temperature of between −4° C. and −15° C. for a consecutive application period of from 2 to 10 seconds, in order to selectively act on the melanocytes, and to a device for carrying out said method.

Example embodiments of the systems and methods of callus removal disclosed herein comprise a callus catching function to catch the calluses removed by the blade. A clamp on the back side of the blade comprises a hollowed out section into which the blade deposits the removed calluses. The hollowed area may be formed, for example, by a clamp for holding the blade in a handle. In an example embodiment, the clamp may also comprise a pumice sponge for further use in pedicure processes. The clamp may be removable to allow for removal of the collected calluses into a collection bin.

The disclosure relates to a device and a method for the treatment of diseases of the skin, glands, mucousae, connective tissue, nerves and/or horny tissue. The device is adapted for the treatment of diseases of the skin, glands, mucousae, connective tissue, nerves and/or horny tissue and has at least one applicator, which applicator is arranged outside the device housing; at least one radio wave module, which radio wave module is adapted to generate an adjustable electromagnetic radiation with a variable frequency or with at least one constant frequency with an adjustable variable or at least one adjustable constant intensity.

An apparatus for removing a hook embedded within a tissue is presented. The hook has a barb extending from a point section of the hook. The apparatus includes a clamping device configured to secure the hook. A probe is coupled to the clamping device. The probe has a tip portion configured to fit within a space between the barb and the point section of the hook to allow the hook to be removed from the tissue.

Exemplary methods and systems can be provided for resurfacing of skin that include formation of a plurality of small holes, e.g., having widths greater than about 0.2 mm and less than about 0.7 mm or 0.5 mm, using a mechanical apparatus. Compressive and/or tensile forces can then be applied to the treated region of skin as the damage heals to facilitate hole closure, and provide enhanced and/or directional shrinkage of the treated skin area.

A callus removal apparatus includes a main body having opposite first and second end portions and an elongated configuration for ease of gripping by one hand, a callus scraping device fitted on the main body first end portion, and a callus sanding device fitted on and detachable from the main body second end portion. The callus scraping device has a head with an array of spaced-apart punched-through projections that extend upwardly from the head and have a plurality of jagged edges at a distal end thereof. The exposed projections are capable of removing pieces of a callus by moving the head across and in contact with the callus. The callus sanding device has a panel and a plurality of sanding particles attached on the panel and exposed at the exterior thereof and thus capable of removing pieces of a callus moving the panel across and in contact with the callus.
