Abstract
A device (100, 200) for superficial abrasive treatment of the skin includes a skin interface element (102, 202) with a number of protrusions (106, 206) projecting to a height above a substrate (104, 204) of no greater than 200 microns. A vibration generating mechanism (108, 208) is mechanically linked to the skin interface element (102, 202) so as to generate vibratory motion of the skin interface element (102, 202).
Claims25
A device for superficial abrasive treatment of the skin comprising:
- (a) a skin interface element including a substrate provided with a plurality of protrusions, said protrusions projecting to a height above said substrate of no greater than 200 microns;
- and
- (b) a vibration generating mechanism mechanically linked to said skin interface element so as to generate vibratory motion of said skin interface element.
A method for superficial abrasive treatment of the skin comprising the steps of:
- (a) bringing into contact with the skin a skin interface element including a substrate provided with a plurality of protrusions, said protrusions projecting to a height above said substrate of no greater than 200 microns;
- and
- (b) employing a vibration generating mechanism mechanically linked to said skin interface element to generate vibratory motion of said skin interface element so that said protrusions perform superficial abrasive treatment of the skin.
