| 20120041432 | Method and Apparatus for Treating Subcutaneous Histological Features - A system and method for treating subcutaneous histological features without affecting adjacent tissues adversely employs microwave energy of selected power, frequency and duration to penetrate subcutaneous tissue and heat target areas with optimum doses to permanently affect the undesirable features. The frequency chosen preferentially interacts with the target as opposed to adjacent tissue, and the microwave energy is delivered as a short pulse causing minimal discomfort and side effects. By distributing microwave energy at the skin over an area and adjusting power and frequency, different conditions, such as hirsuitism and telangiectasia, can be effectively treated. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20120022622 | Systems, Apparatus, Methods and Procedures for the Noninvasive Treatment of Tissue Using Microwave Energy - The present invention is directed to systems, apparatus, methods and procedures for the noninvasive treatment of tissue using microwave energy. In one embodiment of the invention a medical device and associated apparatus and procedures are used to treat dermatological conditions using microwave energy. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20120010609 | Systems and Methods for Creating an Effect Using Microwave Energy to Specified Tissue - Systems, methods and devices for creating an effect using microwave energy to specified tissue are disclosed. A system for the application of microwave energy to a tissue includes a signal generator adapted to generate a microwave signal having predetermined characteristics, an applicator connected to the generator and adapted to apply microwave energy to tissue. The applicator includes one or more microwave antennas and a tissue interface, a vacuum source connected to the tissue interface, a cooling source connected to the tissue interface, and a controller adapted to control the signal generator, the vacuum source, and the coolant source. The tissue includes a first layer and a second layer, the second layer below the first layer. The controller is configured so that the system delivers energy such that a peak power loss density profile is created in the second layer. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20110313412 | TISSUE INTERFACE SYSTEM AND METHOD - An applicator-tissue interface is disclosed for use in connection with medical device treatment applicators. The interface provides a cover to protect applicator components against contamination and may be disposable or reusable. Also included are tissue acquisition features including a tissue receiving chamber defined by a bio-barrier with vacuum ports or channels for tissue acquisition. Vacuum balancing is provided to prevent contamination on the applicator side of the bio-barrier. Locking mechanisms are disclosed for ensuring secure attachment between the interface and applicator. Methods of using the applicator-tissue interface in connection with an applicator are also disclosed. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20110196365 | Systems, Apparatus, Methods, and Procedures for the Non-Invasive Treatment of Tissue Using Microwave Energy - A system applies, in a non-invasive manner, energy to a targeted tissue region employing a controlled source of energy, a multiple use applicator, and a single use, applicator-tissue interface carried by the applicator. The system can generate and apply energy in a controlled fashion to form a predefined pattern of lesions that provide therapeutic benefit, e.g., to moderate or interrupt function of the sweat glands in the underarm (axilla). | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110040299 | Systems, Apparatus, Methods and Procedures for the Noninvasive Treatment of Tissue Using Microwave Energy - The present invention is directed to systems, apparatus, methods and procedures for the noninvasive treatment of tissue, including treatment using microwave energy. In one embodiment of the invention a medical device and associated apparatus and procedures are used to treat dermatological conditions using, for example, microwave energy. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20100268220 | Systems, Apparatus, Methods and Procedures for the Noninvasive Treatment of Tissue Using Microwave Energy - The present invention is directed to systems, apparatus, methods and procedures for the noninvasive treatment of tissue using microwave energy. In one embodiment of the invention a medical device and associated apparatus and procedures are used to treat dermatological conditions using microwave energy. | 10-21-2010 |
