Abstract:
A cosmetic method for treating a skin of a person is presented, the method comprises inserting one or more needles to one or more depths into the skin of the person such that at least a tip of at least one needle of the one or more needles is deployed within a muscle layer of the person's skin; applying a negative DC voltage to the one or more needles, while a skin of the person is in contact with a positive electrode to form one or more closed circuits of DC current through the person's body; and providing the DC current for a pre-selected amount of time to damage and/or ablate muscles and/or muscle nerve cells in the muscle layer; thereby providing a skin treatment comprising reducing and/or smoothing wrinkles from the person's skin.
Abstract:
A device for cooling the skin tissue of a patient during a procedure using energy includes a mat-like structure, the mat-like structure having a bottom wall, a top wall and upstanding walls connecting the top wall and the bottom wall, the walls defining an enclosed volume; it also includes one or more electrodes positioned to protrude from the bottom wall and extend through the volume for connection to a source of energy; further, the volume defines a space for holding a cooling substance for cooling the one or more electrodes and the skin tissue during an energy-based procedure.
Abstract:
A device for providing fractional treatment of a body orifice includes a source of fractionated energy and a source of electrical muscle (EMS) energy. A programmed controller controls the application of fractionated and/or EMS energy. A probe is inserted by its distal end into the body orifice. The source of fractionated energy is positioned for transmitting fractionated energy from the source of fractionated energy through the probe to tissue in the vicinity around the body orifice; and, the source of EMS is positioned for transmitting EMS energy from the source of EMS energy through the probe to tissue in the vicinity around the body orifice. The programmed controller is configured to control the activation of fractionated energy and EMS energy one of simultaneously or sequentially.
Abstract:
A tissue treatment device and method comprising a plurality of spaced-apart elongated electrodes configured to receive radio frequency (RF) signal from an RF energy source and for be inserted into tissue at a plurality of depths. The elongated electrodes having a first polarity and a single flat electrode located having a second polarity. The single flat electrode is located in vicinity of the elongated electrodes and configured for contacting the tissue surface and for receiving the RF signal from the RF energy source. An actuating mechanism connected to the plurality of elongated electrodes and configured to move the elongated electrodes in two opposite directions into and out of the tissue. A controller as part of the treatment device configured to apply fractional treatment to the tissue, vary spatial density of the fractional treatment over a treatment period, operate the actuating mechanism to selectively move different elongated electrode sub-groups of the plurality of elongated electrodes according to a treatment time pattern.
