Apparatus and Method for Treatment of Foot and Nail Diseases

An apparatus for treatment of wounds and skin conditions on a part of a skin of a human body, comprising:

• a housing having a semi-spherical configuration extending between a top area and a bottom area forming an outer periphery of the housing, a hollow treatment chamber formed within an interior of the housing, to facilitate engagement between the outer periphery of the housing and the skin area to be treated a vacuum arrangement is provided to generate a vacuum within the treatment chamber, at least one energy delivery arrangement configured to deliver skin treatment energy to said hollow interior of said housing and to the part of the skin positioned within the treatment chamber;
• a circulation assembly for circulating an aqueous solution within the treatment chamber, the circulation assembly configured to provide a level of the aqueous solution in the treatment chamber;
• one or more sensors within the treatment chamber configured to detect one or more skin parameters from the group consisting of skin melanin concentration, skin hemoglobin concentration, and skin water content;
• a power and control unit configured to control the circulation assembly and the at least one energy delivery arrangement, wherein the power and control unit is configured to control a duration of exposure of the part of the skin to the aqueous solution and an amount of the skin treatment energy to be delivered to the part of the skin based on the one or more skin parameters detected by the one or more sensors and to control the level of the aqueous solution to allow for full or partial washing of the skin within the treatment chamber.
