Problems solved by technology

Faster applicator repositioning can go some way towards improving the homogeneity of skin treatment results and reducing treatment inefficiencies, but caregivers will not be able to manually reposition applicators quickly enough to achieve proper skin treatment homogeneity
In addition, caregiver efficiency and accuracy vary during day shifts or shifts and lead to additional handling phenomena

Embodiment Construction

[0046] see now Figure 1A , which shows a simplified plan view of a device according to an embodiment. The device 100 includes a control unit 104, an array 108 of individually controlled skin treatment units 112, and an interconnecting umbilical 116 connected between the array 108 and the control unit 104, wherein the skin treatment units 112 are connected by couplings. 114 that facilitate relative displacement and rotation of one skin treatment unit relative to an adjacent unit. It should be appreciated that the control unit 104 may be a processing unit attached to the array 108 as described, or may be incorporated into the array 108 itself as a processing unit, hardware device, or the like. The control unit 104 may incorporate one or more vacuum sources such as vacuum pump 120, and optionally one or more air pressure sources such as air pressure pump 124, and its one or more skin treatment energy sources 128, and a processor or processing unit 132 . The skin treatment ener...

Abstract

Apparatus comprising an array of individually controlled skin treatment units to be applied to a skin segment with each of the units comprising: a housing defining a cavity that fluidly communicates with a source of vacuum pressure, having an inner side terminated by a rim facilitating sealing of the cavity when the unit is applied to the skin, dimensions of the cavity being sufficient to accommodate a volume of a skin segment drawn into the cavity by the source of vacuum pressure to create a skin protrusion; wherein application and release of vacuum pressure to the unit generates a back and forth massaging movement of at least a portion of a volume of skin against the rim, and wherein each of the units of the array has at least two degrees of rotational movement with respect to an adjacent unit so that the array can conform to skin segment topography.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an applicator for extensive body sculpting and a method of operating the same. Such devices relate to the field of instruments for non-invasive cosmetic treatments. Background technique [0002] Skin massage is a manipulation of the superficial and deep layers of the skin as well as the subcutaneous tissue layers. Massage involves the use of pressure to act and manipulate the skin. The skin can be manipulated, usually kneaded, manually or with mechanical assistance. Whether the massage is performed manually or with mechanical assistance, it is applied to a section of skin or tissue defined by the dimensions of the caregiver's hand or mechanical assistance device. The remaining section of skin is then treated by moving the hand or repositioning the mechanical aid within the larger section of skin. Target tissues may include muscle, tendon, adipose tissue, as well as skin and other regions of the body. Massage is ass...
