Integrated Skin Treatment Device With Sensor-Adjusted Microvibration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing treatments for conditions such as cellulite, muscle contractures, and skin blemishes lack effectiveness due to unclear causes and fail to provide personalized, synergistic treatments that address vascular, lymphatic, and tissue issues.
Innovation Solution
A device with customizable handpieces that perform compressive microvibration treatments, using sensors to detect tissue conditions and adjust frequencies and pressures for personalized therapy, including percussion, ablative micro-vibration, compressive micro-vibration, and vibro-transportation of active ingredients.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple different treatments are applied to address various causes of skin blemishes, then treatment effectiveness improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple treatment handpieces (percussion, ablative micro-vibration, compressive micro-vibration, and vibro-transportation) into a single integrated device with a common console, allowing simultaneous access to different treatment modalities without requiring separate devices for each treatment type
Solution Approach 2:
The device is designed as a multi-functional system where a single console supports multiple handpieces that can be selected based on the specific condition being treated, enabling one device to perform various treatment functions (percussion for deep tissue, ablative for skin resurfacing, compressive for cellulite, vibro-transportation for product delivery)
2Manufacturing precision
If personalized treatment parameters are used to address individual tissue conditions, then treatment precision improves, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates sensors that detect tissue characteristics and provide real-time feedback to the control system, which automatically adjusts treatment parameters (frequency, amplitude, duration) to match the detected tissue condition, eliminating the need for manual parameter calibration by the operator
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-adjustment of treatment parameters based on sensor data from the tissue being treated, with the control unit autonomously selecting appropriate settings for different tissue types and conditions without requiring extensive operator knowledge or manual intervention
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device provides effective, non-invasive treatments for cellulite, muscle contractures, and skin blemishes by enhancing microcirculation, lymphatic flow, and tissue recompaction, with adjustable frequencies and pressures for personalized treatment efficacy.
Implementation Method 1
A device for the non-invasive personalised treatment of skin blemishes and associated multi-step method, wherein said device comprises at least 3 handpieces and possibly a fourth additional handpiece... suitable to recognize and treat, by means of compressive microvibration, some diseases such as cellulite
Implementation Method 2
A first handpiece suitable for performing a percussion treatment on the body and/or face of a patient by means of a rotor comprising a plurality of rotating elements
Implementation Method 3
A fourth handpiece, present only optionally with respect to the device of the invention, suitable for carrying out a treatment for the vibro-transportation of active ingredients in depth
