CELLULITE TREATMENT SYSTEM AND METHODS
Systems and methods for treating cellulite including an apparatus that applies or a method involving separating septa to eliminate or reduce the appearance of cellulite. In one approach, an interventional tool is placed between tissue layers to engage and treat septa connecting tissue layers between which fat deposits are contained.
NEEDLING DEVICE AND DRUG APPLICATOR
A needling device may be used for needling of a subject's skin, and a drug applicator device may be used for applying a drug to a subject's skin. For example, a needling device may be applied to a subject's skin for hair growth applications, or may be used for wrinkle, scar, or tattoo removal. A drug applicator device may be used for multiple drug application purposes such as applying a hair growth compound to the skin of a subject.
HYBRID MATCHING NETWORK TOPOLOGY
The present disclosure relates to plasma generation systems which utilize plasma for semiconductor processing. The plasma generation system disclosed herein employs a hybrid matching network. The plasma generation system includes a RF generator and a matching network. The matching network includes a first-stage to perform low-Q impedance transformations during high-speed variations in impedance. The matching network includes a second-stage to perform impedance matching for high-Q impedance transformations. The matching network further includes a sensor coupled to the first-stage and the second-stage to calculate the signals that are used to engage the first and second-stages. The matching network includes a first-stage network that is agile enough to tune each state in a modulated RF waveform and a second-stage network to tune a single state in a RF modulated waveform. The plasma generation system also includes a plasma chamber coupled to the matching network.
Straberi EpiStamp Device
The present invention discloses an advance in enhanced stability, enhanced solubility, and enhanced uniqueness towards a micro needling stamper device by proposing an improved process by presenting a technique where skin care products are delivered by way of a needling device is presented. The device has a suction that operates in the casing of the needles. When the stamping of the microneedles occurs, this suction feature lift the skin from it's a regular lying surface. The suction feature promotes blood circulation which will promote cell repair and aide in regeneration. This vacuum like suction separates different layers of tissues, thus microtrauma from the needles is more confined to the layer desired; the epidermis. This also triggers an inflammatory response flooding the area with white blood cells, platelets, and other healing aids for the re-generation process.
Portable multi-functional non-invasive blackhead remover apparatus
An apparatus for removing blackheads and providing skin care treatments comprising a funnel body that comprises a compartment, a first opening and a second opening that are bended about 45 degrees from an axial axis. The first opening further comprises a vacuum tip that is detachable and the second opening further comprises a massage metal plate. The apparatus further comprises a vacuum pump, a CPU, and a PCB. The vacuum tip further comprises a vacuum filter. The funnel body further comprises a smart switch disposed on the outside wall thereof. The apparatus further comprises a lithium battery. The funnel body further comprises vent pores. The apparatus further comprises a status light made of LED.
Devices, systems, and methods for epidermal tissue harvesting
In one instance, a medical device for harvesting epidermal tissue from a patient includes a first compartment that is mateable with a second, disposable compartment that goes against the skin. The first compartment has a floor that is formed, at least in part, by a first printed circuit board. The ceiling of the second, disposable compartment is formed at least in part by a second printed circuit board that electrically couples with the first printed circuit board when in a mated position. Suction is delivered to the second compartment to pull skin through apertures on the floor of the second compartment to form blisters that are harvested to obtain epidermal tissue. The first compartment remains uncontaminated in use and the second compartment is disposable. Other features are presented; some of which include a thermal sensor in the second compartment for temperature control, clear side walls, and a distributed heating element.
Handpieces for tissue treatment
A dermatological skin treatment device is provided. The device comprises a handpiece and a cutting tool, wherein the tool is inserted through the conduit and percutaneously inserted into a tissue disposed within a recessed area of the handpiece. The device and method cut the fibrous structures under the skin that cause cellulite at an angle substantially parallel to the surface of the skin and replace these structures with a non-cellulite forming structure by deploying a highly fibrous mesh through a single needle hole to create a highly fibrous layer directly or through wound healing processes.
Method and apparatus for discontinuous dermabrasion
Exemplary embodiments of method and apparatus are provided for resurfacing of skin that includes formation of a plurality of small holes, e.g., having widths less than about 1 mm or 0.5 mm. For example, such small holes can be produced using a mechanical apparatus that includes one or more abrading elements provided at the end of one or more rotating shafts, thus avoiding generation of thermal damage as occurs with conventional laser resurfacing procedures and devices. The holes thus formed can be well-tolerated by the skin, and may exhibit shorter healing times and less swelling than conventional resurfacing procedures. The fractional surface coverage of the holes can be between about 0.1 and 0.7, or between about 0.2 and 0.5. The method and apparatus can produce cosmetic improvements in the skin appearance by eliciting a healing response.
Methods and compositions for treating skin
The present disclosure generally relates to methods and compositions for treating skin. In some embodiments, the method uses an exfoliation tool. In some embodiments, the method uses an exfoliation tool together with selected skin care agents or compositions.
Pixel array medical systems, devices and methods
Systems, instruments, methods, and compositions are described involving removing a portion of the epidermis within a donor site on a subject, and harvesting dermal plugs within the donor site. An injectable filler is formed by mincing the dermal plugs. The injectable filler is configured for injecting into a recipient site on the subject.
