Abstract
An apparatus for treating skin has a console with a user input device and a handpiece assembly. The handpiece assembly is configured to treat skin. A fluid line provides fluid communication between the console and the handpiece assembly. A manifold system is coupled to the console and controlled by the user input device. The manifold system is configured to hold releasably a plurality of fluid sources and deliver fluid from at least one of the plurality of fluid sources to the handpiece assembly.

A tip configured for use in a skin treatment system, comprising:
- a tip body;
- at least one vacuum hole configured to receive fluid and debris being transferred away from a distal end of the tip body;
- an outer member defining a periphery along the distal end;
- and
- at least one inner member located within an interior area of the outer member, the at least one inner member being configured to abrade skin;
- wherein the tip body, the outer member and the at least one inner member are monolithically formed;
- and
- wherein a proximal end of the tip is configured to couple to a handpiece assembly.
A tip configured for use in a skin treatment system, comprising:
- a tip body;
- an outer member defining a periphery along a distal end of the tip;
- and
- at least one inner member located within an interior area of the outer member, the at least one inner member being configured to abrade skin of a subject;
- wherein a proximal end of the tip is configured to couple to a handpiece assembly;
- and
- wherein the distal end of the tip is angled with respect to a longitudinal axis of the handpiece assembly to which the tip is coupled, wherein the angled distal end increases a contact area between the tip and a subject's skin.
A tip configured for use in a skin treatment system, comprising:
- a tip body;
- a skirt portion extending from a proximal end of the tip body, the skirt portion being configured to couple to a handpiece assembly;
- an outer member defining a periphery along a distal end of the tip;
- and
- at least one inner member located within an interior area of the outer member;
- wherein the skirt portion comprises a gripping surface to assist in attaching the tip to the handpiece assembly and removing the tip from the handpiece assembly;
- and
- wherein a diameter or other cross-sectional dimension of the tip is greater along the skirt portion than along the tip body.
