The handset in turn has a chamber closed by a deformable membrane which adheres to a patient's skin by virtue of a vacuum generated in the chamber by a vacuum generating device.

- means for producing a variable vacuum in said chamber to deform said membrane thereby lifting, folding, compressing, and smoothing the patient's skin;
- wherein said membrane defines a central through hole and comprises:
- an ultrasound emitting device housed in said central through hole;
- two lateral portions adjacent said central through hole, said lateral portions being movable by the vacuum generated inside the chamber;
- wherein each of said lateral portions has two projections;
- and
