An instrument and method for tissue thermotherapy including an inductive heating means to generate a vapor phase media that is used for interstitial, intraluminal, intracavity or topical tissue treatment. In one method, the vapor phase media is propagated from a probe outlet to provide a controlled vapor-to-liquid phase change in an interface with tissue to thereby apply ablative thermal energy delivery.

Cosmetic method and apparatus for the treatment of skin tissue using two wavelengths of laser energy

A method of treatment of skin tissue with two laser devices of unequal wavelengths comprising the steps of: (1) activating the two laser devices simultaneously to produce two laser beams of unequal wavelength; (2) directing the two laser beams into a handpiece having a distal tip to direct the laser beams onto the skin tissue; (3) directing the two laser beams within the handpiece to an adjustable beam deflector; and, (4) the adjustable beam deflector directing the two laser beams onto the skin tissue to produce a pattern of laser spots simultaneously but separated from one another.

Methods and devices for tissue treatment using mechanical stimulation and electromagnetic field

Devices and methods for tissue treatment produce a mechanical stimulation therapy and electromagnetic field therapy. The mechanical stimulation therapy provides stimulation of blood circulation and stimulates treated cells. The electromagnetic field enables thermal treatment of tissue. Combination of both therapies improves soft tissue treatment, mainly connective tissue in the skin area and fat reduction.

Systems and Methods for Aesthetic Treatment

Provided herein is a multifunctional aesthetic system including a housing, an electromagnetic array situated in the housing and having a plurality of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) sources, each EMR source configured to generate an EMR beam having a wavelength different than that of an EMR beam generated by another of the EMR sources, a controller in electronic communication with the array to operate two or more of the EMR sources to direct the EMR beam to a treatment area, and a sensor in electronic communication with the controller for providing feedback to the controller based on defined parameters to allow the controller to adjust at least one operating condition of the multifunctional system in response to the feedback.

PORTABLE HAIR REMOVAL APPARATUS
20220346871 · 2022-11-03 · ·

The present disclosure relates generally to a portable hair removal apparatus The portable hair removal apparatus-includes a hair removal mechanism for contacting the skin to remove hair, and a housing. The housing defines an accommodating space, and the hair removal mechanism is accommodated therein. The hair removal mechanism includes a light-exit portion for emitting light irradiated to the hair to be removed, and a contact portion. The contact portion is exposed from the accommodating space and disposed in a light-emitting direction of the light-exit portion. The contact portion includes a light-transmitting crystal disposed in the light-emitting direction of the light-exit portion, and the light-transmitting crystal is in contact with the skin. In the field of portable hair removal devices, the light-transmitting crystal is provided on the contact portion, to contact the skin for cold compress, reducing the burning sensation on the skin caused by the light-exit portion.

INTEGRATED ABLATION NEEDLE AND ABLATION SYSTEM

An integrated ablation needle (100), comprising a cannula (10) and an electrode needle (20) that is movably and penetratingly installed within the cannula (10); the electrode needle (20) comprises a needle tip (21) located at the far end and a needle rod (23) connected to the near end of the needle tip (21); at least a portion that is near to the needle tip (21) of the needle rod (23) is provided with a sampling groove (231); and the far end of the cannula (10) is provided with a cutting edge (11). The cannula (10) moves along the axial direction relative to the needle rod (23) so as to expose or cover the sampling groove; when the sampling groove (231) is exposed, a tissue portion around the needle rod (23) enters the sampling groove (231); and when the sampling groove (231) is covered, the cutting edge (11) cuts off tissue inside and outside of the sampling groove (231), such that the tissue within the sampling groove (231) is acquired as a biopsy sample. Further provided is an ablation system (1000) comprising an integrated ablation needle (100). The integrated ablation needle (100) and the ablation system (1000) integrate ablation and biopsy functions on the same ablation needle (100), without needing to independently execute a biopsy step, thus avoiding repeated puncturing, reducing damage to the human body, and reducing operation time.
