Abstract
Methods and systems for method for acoustic treatment of tissue to disperse vacuoles within the tissue. Some of the present methods and systems comprise: directing pulsed acoustic waves from the acoustic wave generator into the tissue containing the vacuoles. Some of the present methods include identifying the location of tissue containing vacuoles, and/or coupling (e.g., acoustically) an acoustic wave generator to the tissue containing the vacuoles.
Claims12
A method for acoustic treatment of tissue to disperse vacuoles within the tissue, the method comprising:
- identifying a location of tissue containing intradermal vacuoles;
- coupling an acoustic wave generator to the tissue containing the intradermal vacuoles;
- and
- directing pulsed acoustic waves from the acoustic wave generator into the tissue containing the intradermal vacuoles to thereby disperse the intradermal vacuoles;
- wherein the intradermal vacuoles include non-encapsulated vacuoles, the non-encapsulated vacuoles being devoid of tattoo pigment particle agglomerations.

A method of tattoo removal, the method comprising:
- directing laser light to a portion of tissue at a first time to form intradermal vacuoles;
- directing a first plurality of shockwaves to the portion of the tissue to breakup and disperse the intradermal vacuoles;
- and
- after directing the first plurality of shockwaves, directing laser light to the portion of the tissue at a second time;
- wherein the intradermal vacuoles include non-encapsulated vacuoles, the non-encapsulated vacuoles being devoid of tattoo pigment particle agglomerations.
