| 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 |
| 20090043247 | Method and device for collagen growth stimulation - The invention provides 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. The invention also provides a system for skin treatment comprising the applicator of the invention and a control unit. The invention further provides a method of treating skin disorders in which a section of the skin is heated while, essentially simultaneously, piercing one or more holes in the heated section of the skin. The method of the invention may be used, for example, in collagen remodeling. | 02-12-2009 |
| 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 |
| 20100210993 | SKIN TREATMENT APPARATUS FOR PERSONAL USE AND METHOD FOR USING SAME - An apparatus for personal skin treatment includes an RF generator and an applicator with at least a pair of electrodes mounted on the distal end of the applicator. The electrodes are configured for applying an RF voltage to a subject skin. The RF voltage generator supplies the electrodes with the RF voltage. The applicator includes a source of illumination illuminating the treated skin segment. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110167640 | SKIN-HEATING SHAVING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A shaver that includes a cartridge with one or more razor blades and a source of RF energy operative to apply RF energy to one or more of the blades. The cartridge can be attached to a handle for moving the cartridge along the surface of the skin. The cartridge may include a variety of configurations including one or more electrodes and one or more blades with the RF current conducting through any subset of the electrodes and blades, through the skin, thereby heating the skin to help facilitate the engagement of the blade with the hair on the skin surface. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20110245735 | SAFE SKIN TREATMENT APPARATUS FOR PERSONAL USE AND METHOD FOR ITS USE - A technique for detecting and providing alerts or indications that can be used for controlling or altering the displacement speed of an applicator coupling skin heating energy across a treated skin. A temperature sensor monitors the rate of skin temperature change and provides feedback related to altering the applicator displacement speed according to the rate of skin temperature change. Disclosed is also an applicator for implementing this method. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110264173 | SKIN TREATMENT APPARATUS FOR PERSONAL USE AND METHOD FOR USING SAME - An apparatus for personal skin treatment includes an RF generator and an applicator with at least a pair of electrodes mounted on the distal end of the applicator. The electrodes are configured for applying an RF voltage to a subject skin. The RF voltage generator supplies the electrodes with the RF voltage. The applicator includes a source of illumination illuminating the treated skin segment. | 10-27-2011 |
| 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 |
