Solution Overview
Problem
Current tattoo removal methods, including laser irradiation, often fail to completely erase pigment traces without causing unsightly alterations to the treated surface and require multiple sessions.
Innovation Solution
A motorized and non-motorized device using magnetized needles with a magnetic induction field greater than 100 Gauss, capable of moving in translation or rotation, to attract and extract tattoo pigments from the skin or lips, enhancing the effectiveness of tattoo removal by leveraging magnetic attraction and physico-chemical effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If laser irradiation technique is used to erase pigment traces, then some pigment removal is achieved, but complete erasure is not always obtained and additional unsightly alteration of the treated surface occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the optical/mechanical laser system with a magnetic field-based system. Magnetized needles generate magnetic fields that attract and extract pigment particles through magnetic force, eliminating the thermal and mechanical damage caused by laser irradiation while achieving complete pigment removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameter of interaction from optical energy (laser) to magnetic field strength. By controlling magnetic field intensity and needle magnetization levels, the system achieves selective pigment extraction without altering the surrounding skin tissue, thus preventing unsightly surface changes.
2Manufacturing precision
If tattoo removal composition is used to dissolve and release pigments, then good results are obtained, but the number of sessions required is reduced only partially
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines chemical dissolution (tattoo removal composition) with magnetic extraction (magnetized needles) into a single integrated system. The chemical composition loosens pigment bonds while the magnetic field simultaneously attracts and extracts pigment particles, achieving complete removal in fewer sessions compared to either method alone.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables continuous pigment extraction during a single treatment session. The motorized drive device continuously moves the magnetized needles across the treatment area, maintaining constant magnetic extraction action throughout the session, thereby reducing the total number of sessions required compared to intermittent chemical methods.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple sessions are used for tattoo removal, then complete erasure is achieved, but time and treatment duration increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary chemical treatment (tattoo removal composition) to the skin before magnetic extraction. This preliminary action loosens and destabilizes pigment particles, making them more susceptible to magnetic attraction and extraction during the same session, thereby achieving complete removal in fewer treatments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic movement of magnetized needles through motorized drive devices. The needles move continuously across the treatment area, dynamically scanning and extracting pigment particles throughout the session. This dynamic action increases treatment efficiency and productivity compared to static methods requiring multiple sessions.
