Patent application number | Description | Published |
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 |
20090299361 | DISPOSABLE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY APPLICATOR AND METHOD OF USING IT - A skin treatment apparatus that includes, a disposable electrode carrier with a plurality of voltage-applying dome-shaped elements protruding from the surface of the electrode carrier. Further, the protruding elements are spaced apart in a pattern. The apparatus operates to apply a voltage to at least some of the protruding elements. The apparatus applies a voltage to the protruding elements with a magnitude that is sufficient to result in an electrical break down of the skin and thereby cause electric current enabling the desired treatment. | 12-03-2009 |

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 |
20110125227 | Method and System for Controlling Non-Coherent Pulsed Light - A system and method to control non-coherent pulsed light, the system including a lamp to produce non-coherent light energy in a pulsed mode, a current supply to provide energy to the system, and a switching module to control the spectral distribution and/or light intensity in the non-coherent pulsed light energy during a pulse of non-coherent light. The system may include a controller unit to control pulse parameters for a selected treatment, based on illumination data received from the light sensor. The system may include one or more changeable filters to modulate the pulses supplied to the lamp during a pulse. | 05-26-2011 |
20110166559 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERSONAL SKIN TREATMENT - Disclosed is a skin treatment device for personal use. The device includes an optical radiation providing module operating in pulsed or continuous operation mode, a mechanism for continuously displacing the device across the skin, and a device displacement speed monitoring arrangement. When the device is applied to skin, the optical pulses repetition rate establishes the power of the optical radiation as a function of the device displacement speed. The device a hair removal mechanism configured to mechanically remove hair from the treated segment of the skin. | 07-07-2011 |
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 |
