| 20120136282 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATMENT OF ADIPOSE TISSUE - The invention provides methods and apparatuses for the treatment of adipose tissue. The methods comprise application of ultrasound energy to a region of adipose tissue, and the apparatuses comprise at least one source of ultrasound energy configured to direct ultrasound energy through a skin surface into the subcutaneous adipose tissue. In one embodiment, a pressure gradient is created in the region generating relative movement between fat cell constituents having different densities. In another embodiment, a protrusion of skin and underlying adipose tissue containing is formed and ultrasound energy is radiated into the adipose tissue in the protrusion. In another embodiment, an RF electric field is generated inside a region of adipose tissue together with the ultrasound energy. | 05-31-2012 |

| 20120022504 | DEVICE, APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF ADIPOSE TISSUE TREATMENT - A method and apparatus for adipose tissue treatment whereby two types of electromagnetic radiation are applied to the volume of tissue to be treated, One type of the electromagnetic radiations being RF and the second type of electromagnetic radiation being visible or infrared radiation. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110270364 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR COLLAGEN GROWTH STIMULATION - Provided is an applicator for skin treatment having one or more RF electrodes. An article is located between the electrodes, such as a roller or flexible belt containing one or more protruding pins electrically isolated from the RF electrodes. Also provided is a system for skin treatment including the applicator and a control unit. Further provided is a method of treating skin disorders in which a section of the skin is heated while, essentially simultaneously, one or more holes are placed in the heated section of the skin. The present method may be used, for example, in collagen remodeling. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20100204619 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATMENT OF SKIN USING RF AND ULTRASOUND ENERGIES - A system and method for treating skin. The System comprises one or more ultrasound transducers and one or more pairs of RF electrodes. The ultrasound transducers are adapted to focus ultrasound energy at one or more focal volumes in the skin. The RF electrodes are adapted to deliver RF energy to the one or more focal volumes. The method comprises heating the skin to a first temperature at one or more focal volumes in the skin by focusing ultrasound energy at the one or more focal volumes. The focal regions are then heated to a second temperature, the second temperature being higher than the first temperature, by generating an RF current in a region of the skin containing the focal regions. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100198199 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TREATING SKIN WITH TEMPERATURE CONTROL - The presently described subject matter provides a method and system for heating a skin area surface of an individual from an initial temperature to a treatment temperature in a treatment time period exceeding 0.5 sec, where the treatment temperature is in the range of 40°-60° C. An RF generator provides a continuous wave RF voltage energy or a quasi-continuous wave RF voltage across first and second electrode, where at least the first electrode is associated with an applicator that is displaced over the skin surface. The system further includes a skin temperature measuring device or an applicator displacement speed measuring device; and a CPU that monitors a skin temperature or an applicator displacement speed. The CPU turns off the RF energy when the skin temperature is above a predetermined temperature or the displacement speed of the applicator is below a predetermined speed, in order to prevent overheating of the skin. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100106064 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SOFT TISSUE DESTRUCTION - A method and system for adipose tissue treatment is provided. The system of the invention includes an applicator configured to apply negative pressure pulses to a skin surface when activated by a controller, where the negative pressure is created during a time interval in which the flow of water through the cell membrane is not significant. An intensity of the negative pressure is sufficient to selectively damage fat cells. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20090221938 | Method and Apparatus for Treatment of Adipose Tissue - The invention provides methods and apparatuses ( | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090076420 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ADIPOSE TISSUE TREATMENT - A system and method for treatment of adipose tissue. One or more shock waves are generated focused on a region of adipose tissue located between 0.2 and 3 cm below the skin surface. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20080234609 | Method and system for soft tissue destruction - A method and system for adipose tissue treatment. The system of the invention includes an applicator configured to apply negative pressure pulses to a skin surface when activated by a controller, where the negative pressure is created during a time interval in which the flow of water through the cell membrane is not significant. An intensity of the negative pressure is used that causes selective damage to fat cells. | 09-25-2008 |
