Shaped, motorized skin-treatment device

A handheld, motorized apparatus arranged and configured to impart motion to skin placed in contact therewith, wherein the motorized apparatus comprises:

• a body, comprising:
• an attachment surface suitable for coupling a skin contactable element thereto;
• a first gripping surface;
• and
• a second gripping surface opposed to said first gripping surface, wherein said first gripping surface and said second gripping surface are sized and configured to be held between distal portions of a thumb and fingers of a user's hand at a distance from a corresponding palm of said user.
• a motor within said body, and
• a means for transferring mechanical energy from the motor to the skin-contactable element in order to impart motion to the skin contactable surface;
• has a maximum linear dimension of less than about 130 cm.

A handheld, motorized apparatus arranged and configured to impart motion to skin placed in contact therewith, wherein the motorized apparatus comprises:

• a substantially planar attachment surface suitable for coupling a skin-contactable element thereto;
• a motor within said body;
• and
• a means for transferring mechanical energy from the motor to the skin-contactable element in order to impart motion to the skin contactable surface;
• wherein said apparatus has projected area less than about 100 cm2, wherein said projected area is the area projected in a direction normal to said substantially planar surface., and wherein said apparatus has a dimension that is measured from said substantially planar attachment surface along said direction to a point on said device that is most remote from said substantially planar attachment surface, and wherein said dimension is less than about 11 cm.
