[0044] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0045] In related medical aesthetic procedures, microneedling is typically used to create incisions at the desired cosmetic site, thereby stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin through tissue regeneration to achieve the desired aesthetic effect. However, due to the microneedling method of creating incisions, bleeding at the incision site is difficult to control, resulting in poor treatment recovery outcomes.

[0046] In addition to creating incisions at the cosmetic treatment site, existing cosmetic procedures also include using radiofrequency microneedling to stimulate collagen production at the desired location to achieve cosmetic results. However, this method of using microneedles alone for radiofrequency treatment produces relatively small lesions, making it difficult to widely and evenly promote collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This results in a lack of noticeable tightening effects at the cosmetic site, leading to poor treatment outcomes.

[0047] Based on this, this application proposes an electrotherapy device, which includes a microneedle platform and a control unit. The microneedle platform includes a pushing device and microneedles serving as electrotherapy conductors, connected in sequence. The tail of the microneedles is connected to the pushing device via a needle plate. The microneedles include at least hollow microneedles. The pushing device drives the microneedles into or out of the treatment area, and the hollow microneedles remove at least a portion of the physical tissue in the treatment area when leaving it. The microneedle platform is electrically connected to the control unit and controls the output of electrotherapy energy from the microneedles. Based on this electrotherapy device, the main solution of this application is:

[0048] The control and actuation device drives the microneedles into the treatment area and performs an electrical energy release action based on the microneedles, wherein the microneedles include at least hollow microneedles.

[0049] If the electrotherapy termination process is triggered, the microneedles are controlled by the push device to leave the treatment area, and the hollow microneedles remove at least part of the physical tissue in the treatment area through their cavities.

[0050] Specifically, during the operation of the electrotherapy device, a driving mechanism propels microneedles so that the needle tips penetrate the treatment area and release electrical energy, thereby performing radiofrequency treatment on the treatment area. This reduces tissue bleeding at the treatment site and accelerates recovery. After the radiofrequency treatment, the driving mechanism controls the microneedles to reset and leave the treatment area. Simultaneously, as they leave the electrotherapy area, the hollow microneedles can extract at least a portion of the physical tissue from the treatment area. By using the electrotherapy device to perform radiofrequency and physical tissue removal on the treatment area, the treatment efficiency of cosmetic procedures is improved.

[0051] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0052] In this embodiment, the system architecture of the electrotherapy device is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the electrotherapy device includes a microneedle platform and a control unit. The microneedle platform includes a pushing device, a needle plate, and microneedles serving as electrotherapy conductors, connected in sequence. The needle tails of the microneedles are connected to the pushing device via the needle plate. The microneedles include at least hollow microneedles for radiofrequency and physical tissue removal. The microneedle platform is electrically connected to the control unit. During operation, the control unit controls the pushing device to drive the microneedles into or out of the treatment area. When the microneedles enter the treatment area, radiofrequency energy is emitted from the tips of the hollow microneedles to perform electrotherapy. When the microneedles leave the treatment area, at least a portion of the physical tissue in the treatment area is removed by the hollow microneedles. This allows the electrotherapy device to reduce wound bleeding and improve treatment recovery by using radiofrequency energy and physical tissue removal during cosmetic treatment. The removed physical tissue refers to the tissue that entered the cavity of the hollow microneedles.

[0053] Specifically, the hollow microneedle prevents physical tissue backflow through an anti-backflow structure on the needle body; preferably, this structure is a barbed structure. For example, Figure 2a This is a schematic diagram showing the hollow microneedles entering the treatment area. Figure 2b for Figure 2a The diagram shows the internal structure of the hollow microneedle, magnified 20 times in region A. Please continue to refer to... Figure 2b As an optional implementation method, the anti-backflow structure of the hollow microneedles is as follows: Figure 2bThe hollow microneedle 11 contains 1-N barbed structures 112. When the hollow microneedle penetrates the superficial tissue 71 and enters the deep tissue 72, the physical tissue 60 in the deep tissue enters the cavity of the hollow microneedle through the microneedle opening 111 under pressure. During needle retraction, the physical tissue 60 is hooked by the barbed structures 112 and remains in the cavity of the hollow microneedle, thereby removing a certain amount of physical tissue. It can be understood that during this process, when the hollow microneedle 11 enters the treatment area, due to atmospheric pressure, the physical tissue 60 in the treatment area is squeezed into the cavity of the hollow microneedle. When the hollow microneedle leaves the treatment area, the physical tissue 60 is hooked by the barbs and other anti-backflow structures within the hollow microneedle. That is, when the microneedle is withdrawn, the tissue is left behind by the barbed structures 112, thus achieving the effect of removing at least a portion of the physical tissue in the treatment area. Among them, the microneedle opening 111 of the hollow microneedle can be a conical notch or other common needle tip openings.

[0054] It should be noted that, Figure 2b This diagram illustrates one possible structure for the anti-backflow structure of hollow microneedles. The anti-backflow structure can also be configured with other physical structures capable of preventing the backflow of physical tissue. Figure 2b The barbed structure shown is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0055] In some embodiments of this application, not all hollow microneedles are used for electrotherapy. Some hollow microneedles are configured to output electrotherapy energy, some are configured to be used only for removing physical tissue, and some can output electrotherapy energy and remove physical tissue.

[0056] Optionally, the backflow of physical tissue can be prevented by adjusting the pressure inside the hollow microneedle, thus achieving the effect of removing physical tissue. This involves controlling the pressure inside the hollow microneedle as it leaves the treatment area to allow the physical tissue to adhere within the cavity of the hollow microneedle. In addition to removing physical tissue through anti-backflow structures and atmospheric pressure, the removal of physical tissue can also be achieved by combining an anti-backflow structure with atmospheric pressure, thereby improving the effectiveness of physical tissue removal.

[0057] Optionally, the structure of the throttling orifice and spiral groove can also be used to prevent the backflow of physical tissue within the treatment area.

[0058] Optionally, the actuating device is preferably an electric motor, but it can also be a telescopic push rod, a mechanical spring, a pneumatic pump, or a hydraulic pump.

[0059] In the technical solution of this application, when the operator controls the electrotherapy device, the control unit of the electrotherapy device responds to the operator's control command, and after determining the corresponding control parameters based on the control command, controls the hollow microneedles driven by the push device to enter the treatment position, and controls the microneedles to output radio frequency energy for electrotherapy at the treatment position. After the electrotherapy is completed, the control device drives the hollow microneedles to leave the treatment area. At the same time, the hollow microneedles remove physical tissue through atmospheric pressure and / or anti-backflow structure. Thus, when performing cosmetic treatment through the electrotherapy device, the treatment effect is improved by combining radio frequency therapy and physical tissue removal.

[0060] In another embodiment, the microneedles also include solid microneedles. When the microneedle platform of the electrotherapy device is equipped with both hollow and solid microneedles, the hollow microneedles are evenly distributed on the needle plate. This improves the uniformity of tissue removal when removing physical tissue based on the hollow microneedles, thereby enhancing the cosmetic treatment effect.

[0061] Understandably, solid microneedles cannot physically remove tissue. However, electrotherapy energy can be delivered through solid microneedles while physical tissue removal is achieved through hollow microneedles. Alternatively, all microneedles can deliver electrotherapy energy, removing only the physical tissue in the area where the hollow microneedles are distributed. This allows operators to adjust the control parameters of the electrotherapy equipment based on actual cosmetic needs, thereby improving the effectiveness of cosmetic treatments and wound healing.

[0062] In another embodiment, the electrotherapy energy output by the microneedles acts on the treatment area, causing at least a portion of the tissue outside the microneedles in the treatment area to coagulate. This effectively suppresses bleeding from the wound and improves wound healing speed when partial physical tissue is removed from the treatment area using hollow microneedles, thus enhancing the overall treatment recovery effect. It is understood that the coagulation of tissue outside the microneedles caused by the electrotherapy energy is different from the physical tissue removed within the microneedle cavity.

[0063] In another embodiment, a sealed cavity is provided on the microneedle platform. This sealed cavity includes an activation switch. Based on the sealed cavity and an vent switch, the sealed cavity is used to open the vent switch when the pushing device advances the microneedle platform to insert the needle, thereby ensuring that the pressure inside and outside the sealed cavity is the same, allowing the physical tissue of the treatment area to enter the cavity of the hollow microneedle through the needle tip. In this embodiment, by providing a sealed cavity on the microneedle platform, it is ensured that the pressure inside and outside the cavity and the treatment area is the same when the hollow microneedle enters the treatment area.

[0064] In another embodiment, the electrotherapy device further includes a negative pressure absorption device, which reduces the pressure of the negative pressure absorption device, thereby allowing physical tissue within the cavity of the hollow microneedle to be negatively drawn into the negative pressure absorption device. The negative pressure absorption device can be an absorption pump built into the closed cavity, connected to the closed cavity, using the closed cavity as a medium to negatively draw out the physical tissue that falls into the closed cavity.

[0065] Optionally, the negative pressure absorption device can be an external collector that uses negative pressure to extract tissue that has fallen to the bottom of the sealed cavity into the collector.

[0066] In another embodiment, hollow microneedles can be divided into insulated microneedles and non-insulated microneedles. The insulation of insulated microneedles is achieved by coating an insulating film onto the metal surface of the hollow microneedle. In non-insulated microneedles, the entire needle body is conductive, and energy is transmitted from the entire needle body. Insulated microneedles, however, only the non-insulated parts are conductive. In hollow microneedles, only the tip lacks insulation, so radiofrequency energy is released only at the tip. Therefore, an insulating coating is also provided on the outer wall of the hollow microneedle at the end furthest from the tip. In practical use, different insulated microneedles can be selected based on the depth of the treatment site. It should be noted that when a hollow microneedle is inserted into human tissue, blood or other liquids can cause a short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes of the microneedle's radiofrequency. Therefore, it is necessary to add an insulating component to avoid short circuits during radiofrequency treatment and to prevent superficial epidermal burns. During treatment, the operator can select the appropriate insulated hollow microneedles based on the depth of treatment required. For example, if only a 1 mm depth subcutaneous layer needs to be treated at a certain stage, the non-insulated portion of the hollow microneedle will be at most 1 mm long, and so on. The above parameters are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0067] Furthermore, the inner wall of the hollow microneedle is provided with an anti-adhesion coating to prevent physical tissue from sticking to the hollow microneedle, thereby improving the recovery efficiency of physical tissue in the cavity of the hollow microneedle, avoiding physical tissue from sticking and clogging in the cavity of the hollow microneedle at high temperature, so that it can still play a role in removing tissue when needled into different treatment areas in the next time, and improving the safety of using electrotherapy equipment.

[0068] In another embodiment of this application, when performing treatment based on an electrotherapy device, the control methods for hollow microneedles include at least two methods: one where all microneedles are advanced at once, and the other where they are advanced in batches (i.e., advanced sequentially). The one-time advancement method saves treatment time, completes treatment quickly, and has a simple structure. The sequential advancement method ensures that each part of the skin is treated effectively, reducing the instantaneous needle insertion area and thus reducing pain. Therefore, the microneedle platform is equipped with multiple independently drivable hollow microneedles, allowing the control unit to control the driving device to drive different groups of hollow microneedles according to control commands, thereby achieving the control effect of advancing all microneedles at once or advancing multiple groups of microneedles in batches.

[0069] Furthermore, the electrotherapy device also features an adjustable insertion angle for the hollow microneedles. For example, the needle can be inserted at a 90° angle, a 45° angle, or a 15-25° angle. Understandably, different insertion angles will reach different layers of skin tissue and create different channel characteristics. Therefore, when treating different areas, selecting the appropriate insertion angle based on the characteristics of the skin tissue improves treatment efficiency and safety. This application does not limit the specific adjustment angle.

[0070] In another embodiment, the electrotherapy device may also be equipped with an anti-negative pressure device to prevent the telescopic push rod from extending or retracting excessively, which could cause the hollow microneedle to bend due to excessive pressure.

[0071] Optionally, the electrotherapy device may also be equipped with a user contact surface platform, providing the user with a horizontal platform for close contact, while also providing a horizontal point of force for microneedle insertion treatment.

[0072] Optionally, the hollow microneedle has a cylindrical body and a conical tip. Specific tip shapes can include beveled tips, beveled barbed tips, round tips, round teeth, and round barbs. When the hollow microneedle is inserted into the skin, at least some physical tissue is forced into the cavity of the hollow microneedle due to the pressure difference. An opening is provided at the cylindrical bottom of the hollow microneedle, opposite the tip, through which tissue is discharged from the cavity of the hollow microneedle.

[0073] For example, in the specifications of hollow microneedles for electrotherapy devices, the number of hollow microneedles used for radiofrequency is typically set between 1 and 200. The outer diameter of the hollow microneedle is typically between 1 micrometer and 1000 micrometers, and the inner diameter is also typically between 1 micrometer and 1000 micrometers, with the inner diameter being hollow. During treatment, the adjustable range of the hollow microneedle's insertion depth is typically between 0.1 millimeters and 50 millimeters, meaning that the depth range in the insertion depth direction is typically between 0.1 millimeters and 50 millimeters.

[0074] It should be noted that the above parameters can be adjusted according to actual needs. The actual specifications and quantity of the hollow microneedles of the electrotherapy device are not limited here.

[0075] Based on the above embodiments, one optional structure of the electrotherapy device is as follows: Figure 3 As shown. Based on Figure 3When the electrotherapy device shown is used for facial cosmetic treatment, the operator activates the device. At this time, the vent switch 21 of the sealed cavity 20 opens, and the pushing device 12 pushes the hollow microneedle 11 to insert it into the face of the patient, passing through the superficial tissue 71 and entering the treatment area 70 in the deep tissue 72. During the process of the hollow microneedle 11 entering the treatment area 70, at least some of the physical tissue of the patient's face enters the cavity of the hollow microneedle 11 through the microneedle opening 111. Because the vent switch 21 of the sealed cavity 20 is open, its internal pressure remains constant. When the hollow microneedle 11 is not removed, the physical tissue within its cavity will not flow back. Furthermore, the anti-backflow structure, such as a barb structure, based on the tip position of the hollow microneedle 111, also prevents backflow. Then, upon reaching the treatment area 70 where electrical energy needs to be released for treatment, the hollow microneedle 11 outputs radiofrequency energy based on the radiofrequency energy provided by the microneedle platform 10. Finally, after completing the radiofrequency processing, the microneedle platform 10 retracts to pull out the hollow microneedle 11. During the pulling process, the barbs at the tip of the hollow microneedle 11 prevent physical tissue backflow.

[0076] Alternatively, please continue to refer to Figure 3 The electrotherapy device also includes an absorption pump 30, a tissue absorption catheter 31, a negative pressure device 40, and a contact surface platform 50. The absorption pump 30 and the tissue absorption catheter 31 are used for the physical transport and recovery of tissues. The negative pressure device 40 balances the pressure of the hollow microneedles 11 to prevent the hollow microneedles 11 from bending due to excessive pressure. At the same time, the contact surface platform 50 provides a horizontal platform that is in close contact with the user, providing a horizontal force point for microneedle insertion treatment.

[0077] It's important to note that within the channels created by the hollow microneedles inserted into the skin tissue, radiofrequency energy is used to deliver electrical energy and generate heat. This heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, inhibits bleeding, and improves treatment recovery. Simultaneously, during this process, the hollow microneedles are inserted into the skin tissue, and a portion of the tissue is physically removed, creating microchannels on the skin surface. This damages the skin, creating microchannels within it. The body's ability to automatically repair damaged skin tissue allows for spontaneous healing and promotes the regeneration of new collagen and elastin fibers. The hollow microneedles combine radiofrequency with physical tissue removal. After radiofrequency treatment, the body's ability to automatically repair tissue accelerates the recovery of these channels and generates new skin tissue, enhancing the overall therapeutic effect of the cosmetic procedure.

[0078] Optionally, the electrotherapy device can also be used in other aesthetic medical locations, including but not limited to the neck, hands, and legs. The radiofrequency energy can be dynamically adjusted according to factors such as the age of the user, the area being treated, and their body shape.

[0079] Optionally, in the treatment method, the electrotherapy device provides treatment methods including but not limited to layered treatment from deep to superficial, layered treatment from deep to superficial, and unordered treatment. Specifically, in the layered treatment from deep to superficial, after the hollow microneedle is inserted into the deep layer of skin tissue, it does not need to be completely removed after the deep layer treatment is completed. Through precise positioning, the hollow microneedle is withdrawn to the middle layer of skin tissue, where radiofrequency treatment continues. After the middle layer treatment is completed, the microneedle is withdrawn to the superficial layer of skin tissue. After the superficial layer radiofrequency treatment is completed, the hollow microneedle is completely withdrawn, ending one treatment cycle. This cycle is repeated. For example, the hollow microneedle needs to be used for radiofrequency treatment in layers B and C of the three layers ABC from deep to superficial. In this process, the hollow microneedle is first inserted into layer A, then withdrawn to layer B to emit radiofrequency, and then withdrawn to layer C to emit radiofrequency. During this process, no radiofrequency is emitted from layer A, which makes it easier for the tissue inside the hollow needle to separate from the surrounding tissue during the withdrawal from A to B, avoiding the tissue sticking to its original position after direct radiofrequency treatment.

[0080] Similarly, in the superficial-to-deep layered treatment approach, hollow microneedles are first inserted into the superficial layer of skin tissue. After the superficial radiofrequency treatment, they do not need to be completely removed. Through precise positioning, the hollow microneedles are advanced to the middle layer of skin tissue, where radiofrequency treatment continues. After the middle layer treatment, the microneedles are advanced to the deep layer of skin tissue. After the deep radiofrequency treatment, they can be completely removed, completing one treatment cycle. This cycle is repeated. In the disordered layered treatment approach, the hollow microneedle treatment steps are set according to the treatment needs of the skin tissue characteristics. Then, disordered layered treatment is performed according to the pre-set steps, for example, treating the middle layer first, then the deep layer, and finally the superficial layer. Based on this, the scientific nature, efficiency, and safety of the treatment are improved.

[0081] Furthermore, embodiments of this application provide a control method for an electrotherapy device, referring to... Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the control method for the electrotherapy device of this application. The control method for the electrotherapy device includes steps S10 to S20:

[0082] Step S10: Control the pushing device to drive the microneedle into the treatment area and perform an electrical energy release action based on the microneedle.

[0083] It should be noted that the execution subject of the method in this embodiment can be a control device or system that controls the electrotherapy device to perform radiofrequency treatment and tissue extraction on the user in cosmetic procedures, or a control system of an electrotherapy device that includes the control device and can achieve the same or similar functions. The treatment object refers to the insertion location of the hollow microneedles during cosmetic treatment, such as the face, hands, and neck.

[0084] In this embodiment, the microneedles include at least hollow microneedles. During the process of driving the microneedles into the treatment area by the pushing device, the operator typically operates the electrotherapy device, selects the corresponding advancement depth, needle group, and power parameters, and controls the operation of the electrotherapy device. The electrotherapy device responds to the operator's operating instructions and executes the corresponding pushing action to control the pushing device to drive the microneedles into the treatment area.

[0085] During the advancement of hollow microneedles, treatment can be performed using either a single-stage advancement or a sequential advancement method. A single-stage advancement saves treatment time and completes the treatment quickly, while a sequential advancement method involves advancing the hollow microneedles in groups, ensuring thorough treatment of each skin area and complete absorption of radiofrequency energy. For example, if there are 100 groups of microneedles available, and the user selects all 100 groups for treatment, the device advances all the hollow microneedles into the treatment area at once. If the user selects 50 groups, the device drives those 50 groups into the treatment area. If the user selects to advance the microneedles in batches, the corresponding microneedles are advanced sequentially based on the selected groups.

[0086] Optionally, if treatment is required at different depths, the microneedles need to be controlled to enter the treatment area corresponding to different depths, and the electrical energy release action needs to be performed at different treatment depths.

[0087] Optionally, during the use of the electrotherapy device, the operator can adjust the needle insertion angle of the electrotherapy device based on different treatment sites and the characteristics of the skin tissue in those sites, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of the treatment.

[0088] This embodiment involves inserting hollow microneedles into the skin tissue to create tiny channels on the skin surface. Leveraging the body's natural tissue repair capabilities and the skin's self-healing properties, this promotes the regeneration of new collagen and elastin fibers, improving the efficiency of the cosmetic treatment. Furthermore, the tiny channels created by the hollow microneedles, through tissue removal, facilitate further skin tightening after the body's self-repair process.

[0089] Furthermore, after the hollow microneedles enter the treatment area, an energy release action can be performed, or the hollow microneedles can be withdrawn to allow the energy release action to be performed at a shallower location. Not all hollow microneedles entering the treatment area need to undergo an energy release action. Therefore, when performing an energy release action based on hollow microneedles, the target microneedles for the energy release action can be identified first, and the energy release action can be performed based on the target microneedles. For example, the discharge sequence of each target microneedle can be determined to avoid activating all target microneedles simultaneously. During the energy release action, the energy frequency band of the hollow microneedles at the current location can be determined. The energy frequency band is related to the patient's body shape, age, the depth of the treatment location, and the different sites of action. For example, if the depth of the treatment location is d millimeters, the corresponding energy frequency band is D; or if the treatment site is the face, the corresponding energy frequency band is B to D. In this case, the target energy needs to be selected from the treatment frequency band. After determining the target electrical energy through the electrical energy frequency band, the target electrical energy is released based on the hollow microneedles. This target electrical energy reduces bleeding in the tissue at the treatment site and accelerates the recovery speed. Optionally, the electrical energy frequency band can be dynamically set according to actual needs, or set / selected by the operator based on the actual situation of the patient; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0090] In actual cosmetic procedures, to improve the effectiveness of treatment, radiofrequency treatment is usually performed at different depths in the same location. For different treatment depths, the treatment method is usually set as layered treatment or disordered treatment.

[0091] In this embodiment, after the hollow microneedle is inserted into the skin tissue of the treatment subject, a small channel is formed in the skin tissue. Radiofrequency energy can be used as a conductor to perform radiofrequency energy treatment at different levels in each layer of the skin channel. The radiofrequency energy delivers electrical energy into the skin channel and generates heat energy. Based on the generated heat energy, the production of collagen and elastic fibers in the skin is stimulated, while reducing the bleeding effect when the hollow microneedle is inserted into the skin tissue, thus improving the treatment effectiveness.

[0092] In step S20, if the electrotherapy termination process is triggered, the microneedles are controlled to leave the treatment area based on the push device, and the hollow microneedles remove at least part of the physical tissue in the treatment area through their cavities.

[0093] In this embodiment, the microneedles typically perform an energy release action based on set time and power parameters. Subsequently, all microneedles that require energy release complete the energy release action, triggering the end of the electrotherapy process. Alternatively, the operator can control the electrotherapy device to perform a microneedle repositioning action, triggering the end of the electrotherapy process.

[0094] After the microneedle completes the electrotherapy, the pusher controls the microneedle to leave the treatment area. At this time, because the hollow microneedle is equipped with an anti-backflow structure to prevent tissue backflow, such as barbs, after the microneedle is pulled out, the cavity of the hollow microneedle fills at least part of the physical tissue in the treatment area, thereby achieving the effect of removing physical tissue. This allows the hollow microneedle to remove at least part of the physical tissue in the treatment area through its cavity.

[0095] Optionally, the microneedles also include solid microneedles, which can perform electrical energy release based on the solid microneedles of the electrotherapy device, while simultaneously performing physical tissue removal at the treatment site through hollow microneedles.

[0096] Optionally, the structure of the electrotherapy device in this embodiment can be any of the electrotherapy devices shown in the foregoing structural embodiments.

[0097] This embodiment provides a control method for an electrotherapy device. During treatment, a hollow microneedle is inserted into the treatment area to collect tissue samples at the treatment site. Then, electrical energy is released at the treatment site via the hollow microneedle to complete radiofrequency ablation, reducing bleeding and accelerating recovery, thus improving the treatment outcome. Furthermore, after the hollow microneedle leaves the treatment area, its anti-backflow structure allows for partial removal of physical tissue, eliminating the need for repeated punctures with different microneedles, reducing treatment complexity and increasing efficiency. By combining radiofrequency electrotherapy with physical tissue treatment, and leveraging the body's self-repair capabilities after physical tissue removal, along with the tissue repair stimulation from radiofrequency treatment, the patient's skin recovery is enhanced.

[0098] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the first embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. It is understood that during cosmetic treatment, the electrotherapy device can perform layered treatment based on different treatment depths. During layered treatment, the superficial layer must perform an electrical energy release action, while other deeper areas can only undergo physical tissue removal. The treatment area may also include a third treatment area, ..., an nth treatment area, with a depth greater than the second treatment area; that is, multiple treatment areas of different depths can be selected for layered treatment based on actual treatment needs. Layered treatment methods include deep-to-shallow, shallow-to-deep, and unordered treatment methods. Deep-to-shallow treatment can involve the microneedle first entering the deep area and then returning from the deep area to the superficial area. During this process, the microneedle can first release electrical energy in the deep area and then return to the superficial area to release electrical energy, or it can not release electrical energy in the deep area and then return to the superficial area to release electrical energy. The superficial-to-deep approach involves the microneedles first entering the superficial area and then moving from the superficial area to the deep area. This process may involve the microneedles releasing electrical energy in the superficial area before releasing it in the deep area, or releasing electrical energy in the superficial area and then moving into the deep area without releasing it. The disordered treatment method, on the other hand, allows the order of electrical energy release to be set based on actual needs.

[0099] In this embodiment, the treatment area includes a first treatment area and a second treatment area, wherein the depth of the second treatment area is greater than that of the first treatment area. As an optional layered treatment method from deep to shallow, step S10 includes steps S11 to S12:

[0100] Step S11: Control the pushing device to drive the microneedle into the second treatment area and perform an electrical energy release action in the second treatment area.

[0101] Step S12: Control the pushing device to drive the microneedle back from the second treatment area to the first treatment area, and perform an electrical energy release action in the first treatment area.

[0102] In this embodiment, the hollow microneedle is first inserted into the deep layer of skin tissue. After the radiofrequency treatment in the deep layer is completed, it does not need to be completely removed. Through precise positioning, the hollow microneedle is withdrawn to the middle layer of skin tissue, where another radiofrequency treatment begins. After the middle layer treatment is completed, the microneedle is withdrawn to the superficial layer of skin tissue. After the superficial layer radiofrequency treatment is completed, it can be completely removed, ending one channel treatment cycle. This process is repeated. Based on this, radiofrequency and physical tissue removal can be performed simultaneously in both deep and superficial layers, improving the cosmetic treatment effect.

[0103] For example, the treatment area comprises three layers, A, B, and C, from deep to superficial. The hollow microneedle is first inserted into layer A, then withdrawn to layer B to emit radiofrequency, and then withdrawn to layer C to emit radiofrequency again. During this process, no radiofrequency is emitted into layer A. This allows the tissue within the hollow microneedle cavity to more easily separate from the surrounding tissue during the withdrawal from A to B, avoiding the tissue from sticking to its original position after direct radiofrequency.

[0104] It should be noted that the number of deep, middle and shallow layers in the above-mentioned treatment area is for illustrative purposes only, and may be two, four or more layers. This application does not limit this.

[0105] Therefore, after radiofrequency treatment is completed in the deep second treatment area, radiofrequency treatment is performed in the superficial first treatment area to relieve tissue bleeding and improve recovery efficiency through radiofrequency energy.

[0106] Alternatively, in another alternative layered treatment approach from deep to superficial, step S10 further includes steps S13 to S14:

[0107] Step S13: Control the pushing device to drive the microneedle into the second treatment area.

[0108] In this embodiment, the microneedle does not perform an electrical energy release action after entering the second treatment area.

[0109] Step S14: Control the pushing device to drive the microneedle back from the second treatment area to the first treatment area, and perform an energy release action in the first treatment area.

[0110] In this embodiment, after the hollow microneedle is first controlled to enter the deep treatment, the electrical energy release action is not performed. Then, it is controlled to retreat to the first treatment area and the electrical energy release action is performed in the first treatment area. Thus, while performing radiofrequency and physical tissue removal treatment in the superficial layer, physical tissue removal treatment is performed in the deep layer, improving the flexibility of the electrotherapy device control.

[0111] In this application's layered treatment embodiment, which proceeds from superficial to deep, a pushing device is first controlled to drive the microneedle into a first treatment area, where an electrical energy release action is performed. Subsequently, the pushing device drives the microneedle from the first treatment area into a second treatment area. In the second treatment area, the microneedle does not perform an electrical energy release action; instead, the pushing device drives the microneedle back from the second treatment area to the first treatment area, and then the microneedle leaves the treatment area. Based on this, by proceeding from superficial to deep, radiofrequency and physical tissue removal are performed simultaneously in the superficial layer and in the deep layer, improving the flexibility of the electrotherapy device control. When the microneedle tip returns to the first treatment area for the second time, it can choose to release electrical energy again or leave the treatment area directly without discharging.

[0112] In another layered treatment approach from superficial to deep, as described in this application, after the microneedle is driven into the first treatment area by a control device and an energy release action is performed in the first treatment area, the control device drives the microneedle from the first treatment area into the second treatment area, where an energy release action is performed again, and then the microneedle is controlled to leave the treatment area. This embodiment improves the cosmetic treatment effect by performing physical tissue removal and radiofrequency treatment at different treatment depths based on a superficial-to-deep treatment approach. When the microneedle tip returns to the first treatment area for the second time, it can choose to release energy again, or it can leave the treatment area directly without discharging.

[0113] Optionally, treatment can be performed at different depths, such as deep, middle, shallow, or even more layers, in the treatment area, depending on the characteristics of the tissue structure. The specific treatment method and the number of layers for stratified treatment are not limited here.

[0114] This embodiment provides a control method for an electrotherapy device. During the treatment process, by setting a layered treatment method, the flexibility of the electrotherapy device in performing cosmetic treatments is improved, and by using different treatment modes at different depths, the recovery speed of physical tissues is increased.

[0115] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the third embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the first embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. On this basis, the microneedle platform is equipped with multiple sets of independently drivable hollow microneedles, and the control unit controls the pushing device to drive different sets of hollow microneedles according to control commands. Therefore, step S10, the step of controlling the pushing device to push the microneedles into the treatment area, further includes:

[0116] Determine the advancement group and order of the hollow microneedles; based on the advancement group and order, identify the target hollow microneedles; control the advancement device to drive the target hollow microneedles into the treatment area corresponding to the control command.

[0117] In this embodiment, when performing radiofrequency treatment and physical tissue removal based on hollow microneedles, in addition to advancing all hollow microneedles at once for treatment, the hollow microneedles can be divided into multiple groups, each group corresponding to a different advancement sequence. This allows for sequential control of the hollow microneedles entering the corresponding treatment area based on the different advancement sequences, enabling more precise control of the treatment position and depth of each group of hollow microneedles. This adapts to the needs of different skin areas and improves the targeted nature of the treatment. Furthermore, advancing all hollow microneedles at once may cause significant pain and discomfort to the patient. The grouped advancement method can disperse the stimulation during the treatment process, reduce pain, and improve treatment comfort.

[0118] Furthermore, the grouping approach helps to create a more uniform and detailed treatment area during the treatment process. This can effectively improve the effects of radiofrequency treatment and physical tissue removal, while also improving post-treatment recovery.

[0119] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the fourth embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the first embodiment can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. On this basis, the electrotherapy device is provided with a closed cavity, and the closed cavity is provided with an air vent switch. Therefore, before the control and pushing device drives the microneedle into the treatment area, in order to facilitate the hollow microneedle piercing the physical tissue at the treatment location, the physical tissue is squeezed into the cavity of the hollow microneedle. After the air vent switch is opened, when the hollow microneedle enters the treatment area, the pressure inside and outside the closed cavity is equal, and the physical tissue in the treatment area enters the cavity of the hollow microneedle.

[0120] Furthermore, the electrotherapy device is also equipped with an anti-negative pressure device. When the microneedle enters the treatment area, if the pressure of the hollow microneedle is greater than or equal to the preset pressure, the pressure of the hollow microneedle is adjusted based on the anti-negative pressure device to prevent the hollow microneedle from bending due to excessive pressure. Therefore, when the microneedle is controlled to enter the treatment area without performing the electrical energy release action, if the cavity pressure of the hollow microneedle is greater than or equal to the preset pressure, the pressure adjustment value of the hollow microneedle is determined. Then, based on the pressure adjustment device of the electrotherapy device, i.e., the anti-negative pressure device, and the pressure adjustment value, the cavity pressure of the hollow microneedle is adjusted to prevent bending when the hollow microneedle enters the treatment area.

[0121] Optionally, the electrotherapy device also includes a negative pressure absorption device. By reducing the pressure of the negative pressure absorption device, tissue within the cavity of the hollow microneedle is drawn back into the device. For example, when the negative pressure absorption device is directly connected to the hollow microneedle, the physical tissue from the hollow microneedle is absorbed by reducing the pressure of the device. If the negative pressure absorption device is connected to a closed cavity, the physical tissue within the closed cavity can be extracted using negative pressure when the tissue from the hollow microneedle falls into it.

[0122] As an optional implementation, when the negative pressure absorption device is an absorption pump inside a closed cavity or an external collector connected to the closed cavity, after the electrotherapy device completes the electrotherapy and the microneedles leave the treatment area based on the push device, some tissue remains inside the cavity due to the barbs on the hollow microneedles. This tissue needs to be removed to avoid affecting subsequent treatments. Therefore, after step S20, the air vent switch of the closed cavity of the electrotherapy device needs to be closed. At this time, the atmospheric pressure inside and outside the closed cavity is reduced. Then, by controlling the microneedle platform to perform a contraction action, such as retracting backward through the push device, the pressure inside the closed cavity decreases, and the tissue in the hollow microneedle cavity is absorbed into the closed cavity. Subsequently, it falls back to the bottom by gravity and is absorbed by the absorption pump. Therefore, it can respond to cleaning commands and determine the cleaning control parameters associated with the cleaning commands. The cleaning command is the command to control the contraction of the microneedle platform, and the cleaning control parameters are the driving parameters. Then, based on the cleaning control parameters, the microneedle platform is controlled to perform microneedle contraction actions so that the tissue in the cavity of the hollow microneedle is recovered to the absorption pump of the closed cavity or the external collector of the electrotherapy device.

[0123] Based on this, by using a built-in absorption pump or an external collector to clean the tissue inside the hollow microneedle cavity, contamination can be effectively prevented, the equipment can be kept clean, and the safety and accuracy of continuous use can be improved.
