Abstract
A device for treating skin includes two mechanical fingers for placement in contact with the skin. At least one of the fingers is moveable so as to change a separation distance between the fingers. The fingers are configured to concurrently conduct a generated radiofrequency electromagnetic signal to the skin so as to cause an electrical current to flow through the skin at a depth that corresponds to the separation distance.

A device for treating skin, the device comprising two mechanical fingers for placement in contact with the skin, at least one of the fingers being moveable so as to change a separation distance between the fingers, the fingers being configured to concurrently conduct a generated radiofrequency electromagnetic signal to the skin so as to cause an electrical current to flow through the skin at a depth that corresponds to the separation distance.
A method for treating skin, the method comprising:
- placing against the skin at least two fingers of a skin treatment device;
- controlling operation of the device so as to move at least one of the fingers such that a separation distance between the fingers is changed by the motion so as to massage the skin in the vicinity of the fingers;
- and
- controlling operation of the device such that a radiofrequency electromagnetic signal is applied to the skin via the fingers so as to cause a radiofrequency electrical current to be conducted between the fingers by a layer of the skin at a depth that corresponds to the separation distance so as to heat at least that layer of the skin.
