Systems, instruments, and methods for minimally invasive procedures including one or more of fractional resection, fractional lipectomy, fractional skin grafting, fractional scar revision, and/or fractional tattoo removal are described. Embodiments include instrumentation comprising a scalpet assembly coupled to a carrier, and the scalpet assembly includes a scalpet array. The scalpet array includes one or more scalpets configured for fractional resection, fractional lipectomy, fractional skin grafting, fractional scar revision, and/or fractional tattoo removal. The system includes a vacuum component coupled to the scalpet assembly and configured to evacuate tissue from the a site. The carrier is configured to control application of a rotational force and/or a vacuum force to the scalpet assembly.

Methods and systems are disclosed for removing a tattoo from a subject's skin by application of a cold plasma that is delivered via a liquid-gas mixture. The plasma can be delivered in the form of gas bubbles, in which at least a portion of gas is in the form of a plasma.

A disposable cartridge may be used in conjunction with dermal abrasion for tattoo removal. The cartridge may include a needle bundle that is driven in a reciprocating or reciprocating/rotating motion to abrade dermal tissue during the tattoo removal process. The needle bundle may include a plurality of needles arranged in a circular pattern with each needle tangent and abutting the adjacent needle. The needles may be arranged around a central arbor to form a ring of adjacent needles. Alternatively, the needle bundle may include a tubular needle with sharpened tips formed on an end of the tube. A disposable cartridge used in conjunction with dermal abrasion for tattoo removal may also include a seal/spring/retainer combination element that stretches and rebounds to its original shape to provide a spring action and provides a sealing function to reduce or prevent the discharge of a fluid used in the tattoo removal process.

The invention provides a device for controlling the temperature of liquids delivered to the skin during cosmetic, diagnostic, or curative procedures. The invention further provides procedures for treating the skin, including an efficient procedure for removing pigments or tattoos, employing a liquid delivered to the skin with precisely controlled temperature and flowrate.
