MICRO-PULSED LIQUID SPRAY FOR COOLING
An apparatus for cooling tissues which are treated with an energy-based device, such as a laser, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a spray nozzle which generates an atomized liquid spray for the treatment area, wherein the atomized liquid spray is based on a mixture of liquid and gas. Further, the spray nozzle comprises at least one liquid outlet which ejects a liquid, and at least one gas outlet which ejects a gas stream. Besides, the apparatus for cooling comprises at least one delivery means for delivering pressurized gas to the spray nozzle; and a pumping means for the liquid, wherein the pumping means is configured to operate in pulses.
AESTHETIC METHOD OF BIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE TREATMENT BY MAGNETIC FIELD
A device for enhancement of visual appearance including a first applicator to be coupled to a first area of a body region, with a first magnetic field generating device and a first radiofrequency electrode, a second applicator to be coupled to a second area of the body region, with a second magnetic field generating device. The device further includes a first energy storage device, a second energy storage device, and a first switching device to discharge energy from the first energy storage device to the first magnetic field generating to generate a first time-varying magnetic field to cause muscle contraction, and a second switching to discharge energy from the second energy storage device to the second magnetic field generating device to generate a second time-varying magnetic field. The first radiofrequency electrode may provide first radiofrequency waves causing heating of tissue within the first area of the body region.
TREATMENT APPARATUS USING RF ENERGY, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND TREATMENT METHOD USING THE SAME
Disclosed are a treatment apparatus using RF energy according to the disclosure, a control method thereof, and a treatment method using the same, in which a frequency of the RF energy is adjusted according to target tissues to which energy is specifically transferred among skin tissues, and impedance matching is performed in real time, thereby having an effect on treating the tissue efficiently and accurately.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR REDUCING THE APPEARANCE OF CELLULITE
Disclosed herein are methods and devices for the treatment of cellulite. The methods comprise cutting the septae connecting the dermis from the underlying fascia, reducing the appearance of dimples and applying a patch to the skin over the cut septae to hold in place or remodel the skin to allow it to heal in the desired shape and to minimize the recurrence of dimples.
Selective fat removal using photothermal heating
A system and method are provided for minimally-invasive selective fat removal from a target area by injecting the area with a solution of photo-absorbing nanoparticles and irradiating the injected area with a beam of near infrared (NIR) light. The NIR emission wavelength excites the nanoparticles to melt fat within the target area so that the liquefied fat can be aspirated from the target area. The nanoparticles may be gold nanorods having aspect ratios selected to produce surface plasmon resonance when irradiated with NIR light around 800 nm.
SKIN TREATMENT DEVICE
The present invention relates to a skin treatment device including a handpiece and a needle tip enabling to be coupled to the handpiece, wherein as the needle tip is mounted on the distal end of the handpiece, electrical connection with the handpiece can be made stably, and even if the needle module built in the needle tip performs linear reciprocating motions of extension and retraction by the driving device provided in the handpiece, the motion trackable connector provided in the needle tip can stably keep the electrical connection between the handpiece and the needle tip.
Skin care implement and system
In one embodiment, a personal care implement is disclosed. The personal care implement has an emitting end and an electromagnetic source for projecting electromagnetic radiation onto an area of skin to treat a skin condition. A light sensor is configured to sense an amount of ambient light present at the emitting end. A controller instructs the electromagnetic source to begin projecting only when the light sensor senses that the amount of ambient light at the emitting end is below a predefined threshold.
Device and method for cooling living tissue
The present disclosure provides a device and a method for cooling living tissues for a medical purpose and other purposes. The cooling device includes a cooling medium contacting the living tissues to be cooled. The cooling medium comprises: a first fluid medicine reservoir configured to be installed outside a main body that couples with a medical cooling device and to move into the main body, wherein the first fluid medicine reservoir stores a first fluid medicine to be injected through a hole at a tip of the main body.
Systems and methods for treatment of a patient including rf and electrical energy
Systems and methods for a soft tissue treatment of a patient are provided herein. The device for a soft tissue treatment may include an applicator having at least one electrode, a fastening mechanism to fix the applicator to a body part of the patient, and a control unit having a microprocessor to control the at least one electrode. The at least one electrode may provide radiofrequency energy and pulsed electric current. The radiofrequency energy may cause a heating of a soft tissue. The electric current may cause contraction of a muscle within the body part. The body part may be a face.
REJUVENATING LASER DRILLING APPARATUS
Rejuvenating laser treatments are well known technologies used for a relatively long time to ameliorate wrinkles and other skin imperfections. A leading technology for this area is the Fraxel Laser, which relies on applying multiple collimated (not focused) laser beams on a given skin surface to produce a micro-column abrasion into the skin. By relocation of the laser active area on screen surface, a large portion of human face could be covered. To achieve that, very specific wavelengths are used, since most of lasers’ wavelengths do not penetrate into the skin, making skin rejuvenation expensive and difficult. It is our purpose to use laser energy from a wide wavelengths’ spectrum, applied in a boring-like procedure, by applying successive focused lasers penetrating into the skin by shifting the focal point in such a way that it penetrates from epidermis to deep dermis. This procedure will produce ablated columns, which will stimulate collagen remodeling while leaving intact areas in between which will lead to a fast epithelial recovery.
