Some embodiments are directed to a skin treatment system that contains a laser generating device. A hydrogel patch may include a region, at a first side of the hydrogel patch, to be in contact with a person's skin. The region may contain an adsorbing medium (e.g., carbon black or any other substance that would have a similar effect) that, when receiving a laser beam from the laser generating device, results in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (“ESWT”) being applied to the person's skin to treat a dermatologic condition such as an epidermal or dermal tissue structure irregularity, cellulite, a stretch mark, a scar, scar-tissue, a hypertrophic scar, an acne scar, etc.

A compression garment having one or more flex frames that can be shortened or lengthened to apply or release a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of a user. The compression garment can have a wire made of shape memory material (shape memory alloy). A controller of the compression garment can supply an electrical input to the wire, generating heat that can cause the wire to contract such that the flex frame deflects to a shorter length to apply a compressive force to the limb or other anatomical feature of the user. The one or more flex frames can be contracted in unison or in sequence to direct the flow of bodily fluids in the limb or other anatomical feature of the user.

The embodiments of this invention refer to systems, apparatuses, and methods for inducing physical effects in tissues such as dermis, fat, musculoskeletal system, blood vessels, and liver tissue using unfocused or planar, non-cavitary acoustic shock waves. These physical effects include the disruption of the fibrous extracellular matrix of the target tissue. The embodiments of this invention involve applying a plurality of rapid acoustic pulses (e.g., shock waves) to cause the disintegration of the fibrous extracellular matrix, thereby reducing cellulite or scarring in the treated area. Such unfocused or planar, non-cavitary acoustic shock waves can induce tissue responses such as reduced fibrosis, angiogenesis, or lymphangiogenesis.

A skin treatment device and a driving method thereof are disclosed. A skin treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with: a skin accommodation cover having an open bottom surface and having a cavity inside; a pair of electrodes which are disposed facing each other in a first direction and are provided so that, when a target site of the skin is suctioned into the cavity portion side of the skin housing cover, the suctioned skin comes into contact with the inside of the cavity portion of the skin housing cover; the driving device part drives the pressing plate to enter and retreat towards the inner side of the cavity part; a controller for controlling the drive device unit; and at least one pressing plate which is driven by the driving device part to enter the inner side of the cavity part in a second direction different from the first direction, and pushes the skin sucked into the cavity part to the inner side so as to increase the area of the contact electrode pair.

A massage device includes at least one arcuate support having a plurality of adjacent rollers, wherein each roller is constrained on the arcuate support at a specific position and is also adapted to rotate about an axis that is a plane substantially parallel to a tangent plane of the arcuate support at the specific position, and each of the plurality of rollers converges or diverges relative to its adjacent roller.

A skin treatment apparatus and a driving method thereof are disclosed. A skin treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a skin accommodating cap having an open lower surface and a cavity therein; an electrode pair provided such that, when a target portion of skin is suctioned toward the cavity of the skin accommodating cap, the suctioned skin comes into contact within the cavity of the skin accommodating cap, the electrode pair being disposed to face each other in a first direction; a driving unit configured to drive a pressing plate so that the pressing plate can advance into and retreat from an inner direction of the cavity; a controller for controlling the driving unit; and at least one pressing plate which is driven by the driving unit so as to be able to advance into the cavity from a second direction different from the first direction and which increases an area of contact with the electrode pair by pressing inward the skin suctioned into the cavity.

A vacuum massager includes a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion, and a cup attachment arranged to be removably received on the lower portion of the housing. An air pump is disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the cup attachment for generating suction therein, such that contact of the cup attachment with a user's skin creates a vacuum within the cup attachment. A controller is disposed within the housing in electrical communication with the air pump. The vacuum massager further includes a cooling attachment interchangeable with the cup attachment and arranged to be removably received on the lower portion of the housing in electrical communication with the controller for cooling the user's skin.
