Abstract
Skin treatment systems, handpieces, suction wands, and methods of treatment are disclosed herein. A skin treatment system includes a treatment handpiece with removable tips, a console unit, and a suction assembly. The console unit can have a pressurization device configured to be fluidically coupled to the suction assembly. The suction assembly is configured to hold a subject's skin while the treatment handpiece moves along the epidermis. The tips can replaced any number of times to perform during a treatment session.
Claims16
A microdermabrasion system, comprising:
- a microdermabrasion wand having a first abrasive tip, a second abrasive tip, and a wand body having a proximal end and a distal end, the first and second abrasive tips are configured to be coupled to the proximal and distal ends, respectively;
- a console unit including a wand holder and a pressurization device, wherein the pressurization device is configured to draw a vacuum;
- and
- a skin holder assembly including a suction wand and a conduit connecting the suction wand to the pressurization device, wherein the pressurization device is configured to draw a sufficient vacuum to cause the suction wand to hold a subject's skin to inhibit movement of skin contacting while the first abrasive tip moves along the skin relative to the suction wand.
1 more element
A microdermabrasion system, comprising:
- a vacuumless microdermabrasion wand having at least one abrasive tip;
- a skin holder assembly including a suction wand configured to hold a subject's skin taught while the vacuumless microdermabrasion wand abrades the subject's skin, the skin holder including a head, wherein the head includes an opening configured to receive the subject's skin, and
- engagement features located on opposite sides of the opening, the engagement features are protrusions, bumps, and/or recesses configured to facilitate gripping of the subject's skin when the skin is drawn into the opening;
- a console unit including
- a pressurization device configured to be fluid communication with the skin holder assembly and operable to draw air through the suction wand, and wherein the pressurization device includes one or more vacuum pumps;
- and
- a control element that controls operation of the pressurization device such that the pressurization device operates to provide a sufficiently low pressure to hold a subject's skin against the suction wand to inhibit movement of skin relative to the suction wand while the vacuumless microdermabrasion wand is used to perform at least a portion of a microdermabrasion procedure.
