Embodiment Construction

[0021]FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of a handpiece assembly 100 for treating the skin. As shown, the assembly 100 generally comprises a main body portion 110 with a distal end 111 and a proximal end 113. The assembly 100 comprises a tip 160 configured to engage with the distal end 111 of the main body portion 110. The tip 160 can be removable from the main body portion 110. The tip 160 and main body portion 110 can also be manufactured as a unitary construction. The distal end 111 of the main body portion 110 can include one or more O-rings 116 or other sealing members. The O-rings 116 can engage with the tip skirt portion 162 so as to create a seal between the tip 160 and the main body portion 110. The main body portion can include one or more fluid delivery openings 134 in or along the distal end of the main body portion, as well as one or more suction openings 132 and energy contact points 136. A fluid delivery opening 134 can connect to a fluid source 124 via a fluid delivery...

Abstract

A device for treating the skin comprises a handpiece assembly having a distal end and a proximal end and a tip on the distal end of the handpiece assembly. The handpiece assembly includes a fluid delivery conduit, a waste conduit and / or an energy delivery conduit. Further, the tip is configured to contact the skin. The tip comprises a peripheral lip and a plurality of needles generally positioned within the peripheral lip. The tip also comprises at least one opening in fluid communication with a fluid delivery conduit, at least one opening in fluid communication with a waste conduit and / or an energy contact point in electrical communication with an energy contact point and energy conduit in the main body portion. The plurality of needles may be movable with respect to the peripheral lip through the use of a pneumatic or other force.
