Benefits of technology

The system effectively abrades the skin, delivers growth factors to promote healing, and provides a massage-like effect through pressure variations, improving skin penetration and collagen formation, thus addressing the need for quicker healing and enhanced aesthetic outcomes.

Problems solved by technology

Since microdermabrasion is intended to wear away cell layers of the skin, the process tends to create a wound on the target skin area.

Embodiment Construction

[0046] FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a microdermabrasion apparatus 10 according to the invention. The apparatus 10 includes a unique supply 20 of microdermabrasion media that is preferably composed of cutting materials, such as aluminum oxide, crystals or other microdermabrasive materials, and one or more growth factors or vitamins. Unlike conventional microdermabrasion approaches which include a supply that consists of merely cutting material, it will be appreciated that the inclusion of growth factors, such as vitamins, gases and moisturizers, for example, facilitates healing of the treated area. It is to be expressly understood that the growth factors may include any substance or material that facilitates the healing of a treated skin area. With growth factors mixed in with the cutting materials, the growth factors may be applied to the cut skin area simultaneously with the abrasive materials. By way of example and not by way of limitation, the vitamins may include any combinatio...

Abstract

A human growth factor delivery system for use in connection with dermabrasion includes a source of human growth factors in fluid. The growth factor fluid may be applied to the target skin area simultaneously with the step of abrading the skin by a single handpiece. Furthermore, the fluid is caused to penetrate by a combination of the abrasive elements, a vacuum, and a positive pressure applied in bursts, which produces a massaging effect. The fluid source may be contained in a removable cartridge adapted to fit within the handpiece. The fluid is drawn from the cartridge by the vacuum. The vacuum also draws a portion of target skin into a space of the handpiece for contact with an abrasion element. The vacuum furthermore draws excess fluid and removed skin cells into a disposable or reusable canister.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 315,478 filed Dec. 10, 2002, and entitled "MICRODERMABRASION FLUID APPLICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD", which is incorporated herein by reference and which in turn claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60 / 361,045 filed on Mar. 1, 2002, entitled "HUMAN GROWTH FACTOR DELIVERY SYSTEM," which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND METHOD[0002] 1. Field of the Invention[0003] The invention relates generally to skin or surface abrasion apparatus and methods.[0004] 2. Description of Prior Art and Related Information[0005] It is often desirable to abrade the outer layer or epidermis of the skin in order to smooth or blend scars, or blemishes caused by acne for example. In a technique known as microdermabrasion, a sand or grit is carried by an air flow which is directed against the skin. The momentum of the grit tends to wear away two to three cell layers of...
