A61B 17/50

US Classification:

606131

Abstract:

A device, a system employing the device and method of performing skin treatment are provided for skin treatment. The device includes a vacuum head base defining a chamber therein and having a substantially smooth treatment tip attached and extending from an end thereof or integral therewith. The tip has at least one central opening that is open to the chamber, and is adapted to contact the skin and traverse the skin in a substantially non-abrasive manner. A vacuum access opening is provided through a side wall of the vacuum head base and adapted to connect with a source of vacuum. A tissue stop member is located within the chamber. It may have an abrasive surface for exfoliating skin cells, or a smoother surface for traversing the skin without substantial abrasion.

Assignee:

eMed, Inc. - Westlake Village CA

International Classification:

A61B 17/50

US Classification:

606131

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a handheld microdermabrasion device includes a treatment head and a motor for driving, e. g. , oscillating or rotating, the treatment head to abrade or exfoliate the skin. The treatment head may be abrasive or non-abrasive, and includes a passage or opening in communication with a reservoir for containing a topical solution. As the skin is abraded by the treatment head, the topical solution from the reservoir is automatically dispensed through the opening in the treatment head. In some embodiments, the motor which drives the treatment head also drives a pump for moving fluid from the reservoir and through the treatment head. The topical solution may be abrasive or non-abrasive. In some embodiments, the topical solution is a therapeutic solution for treating the skin.

Inventors:

Kenneth Karasiuk - Oak Park CA, US

International Classification:

A61B017/50

US Classification:

606/131000

Abstract:

A microdermabrasion device, microdermabrasion system employing the device and method of performing microdermabrasion. A device for exfoliating skin cells from an external surface of skin includes a vacuum head base defining a chamber therein and having a substantially smooth treatment tip attached and extending from an end thereof or integral therewith. The tip has at least one central opening which is open to the chamber, and is adapted to contact the skin and traverse the skin in a substantially non-abrasive manner. A vacuum access opening is provided through a side wall of the vacuum head base and adapted to connect with a source of vacuum. An abrasive member is located within the chamber, and at least one opening adapted to allow the flow of one or more fluids through the chamber is provided, wherein upon application of vacuum through the vacuum access opening, the fluids are drawn though the chamber, applied to the skin and taken up through the vacuum access opening, and a portion of the skin, targeted by the tip opening, is drawn into the chamber and brought into contact with the abrasive member.
