Tissue treatment system for reducing the appearance of cellulite

A tissue treatment system, comprising:

• a handpiece comprising a recessed tissue engaging chamber defining a treatment region in which target tissue may be positioned, the recessed tissue engaging chamber having a top and being configured to allow elevation of the target tissue into the chamber in the treatment region relative to surrounding tissue;
• a tissue cutting device movably coupled to a guidance track so that a distal end of the tissue cutting device is positionable into the recessed chamber and in the treatment region for treating tissue;
• the guidance track being configured to operably connect to the handpiece, wherein the guidance track is configured to constrain a portion of the tissue cutting device to move within a predetermined area such that the distal end of the tissue cutting device moves relative to the top within a predetermined shape within the treatment region;
• and
• the top having an apposition surface and the target tissue is configured to be elevated into contact with the apposition surface wherein the position of the apposition surface defines a depth of the distal end of the tissue cutting device relative to the apposition surface.

A tissue treatment system, comprising:

• a handpiece comprising a tissue engaging chamber comprising a reversible lid that at least partially defines a recessed area into which target tissue may be positioned, thereby defining a treatment region;
• a tissue cutting module comprising a housing and tissue cutting blade and configured to be operably coupled to the handpiece, the tissue cutting blade comprising a proximal end and a distal end;
• and
• at least one guidance track configured to be operably connected to the handpiece and to movably engage the tissue cutting module;
• the tissue engaging chamber being configured to elevate, relative to surrounding tissue, the target tissue into the recessed area of chamber and into contact with an apposition surface of the reversible lid,
• wherein the reversible lid allows adjustment of a depth of the tissue cutting device relative to the apposition surface,
• the distal end of the tissue cutting blade being positionable into the treatment region, and
• the at least one guidance track being configured to at least partially constrain movement of the tissue cutting module to cause the tissue cutting blade to move within a predetermined shape within the treatment region.

A tissue treatment system, comprising:

• a handpiece comprising a tissue engaging chamber defining a treatment region in which target tissue may be positioned, the tissue engaging chamber having a top and a port configured for connection to a vacuum source, the chamber being configured to elevate the target tissue into the chamber in the treatment region relative to surrounding tissue;
• a tissue cutting device movably coupled to a guidance track so that a distal end of the tissue cutting device is positionable into the chamber and in the treatment region for treating tissue;
• the guidance track being configured to operably connect to the handpiece and the tissue cutting device and being configured to constrain the movement of the tissue cutting device to a predetermined area such that the distal end of the tissue cutting device moves in accordance with a predetermined shape within the treatment region;
• and
• the top having an apposition surface into which the target tissue is configured to be elevated and wherein the top allows a depth to be defined for positioning of the distal end of the tissue cutting device relative to the apposition surface.
