Abstract
Some embodiments are directed to a skin treatment system that contains a laser generating device. A hydrogel patch may include a region, at a first side of the hydrogel patch, to be in contact with a person's skin. The region may contain an adsorbing medium (e.g., carbon black or any other substance that would have a similar effect) that, when receiving a laser beam from the laser generating device, results in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (“ESWT”) being applied to the person's skin to treat a dermatologic condition such as an epidermal or dermal tissue structure irregularity, cellulite, a stretch mark, a scar, scar-tissue, a hypertrophic scar, an acne scar, etc.
Claims10
A skin treatment system, comprising:
- a laser generating device including a scanner to provide 50 Hz Q-Switched laser energy, and
- a hydrogel patch to be in contact with a person's skin, including:
- a first layer comprising a 5.5 millimeter thick clear evape film material,
- a second layer comprising a 32 millimeter thick hydrogel material,
- a third layer comprising a resin enhanced wax Thermal Transfer Ribbon (“TTR”) with a carbon black adsorbing medium that, when receiving a laser beam from the laser generating device, results in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (“ESWT”) being applied to the person's skin to treat a dermatologic condition,
- a fourth layer comprising a hydrogel material,
- a fifth layer 955 comprising a 3 millimeter clear polyester (“PET”) release liner material, and
- a plurality of markings on the hydrogel patch to help guide a doctor or other professional to multiple areas where the laser beam should be focused.
