US 2025/0359889 A1 · METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING THE SKIN

Abstract

A method for treating a patient's skin is provided. The method includes identifying at least one region of said patient's skin in need of treatment. The method includes forming at least one interference of at least one tissue portion in said region of skin, thereby generating at least one scar-like fibrous tissue in said region of said patient's skin. Rotational Fractional Resection (“RFR”) is a procedure which may be used to achieve focal aesthetic contouring by removing fractions of lax skin and excess fat tissue from a patient. Skin may be removed by the use of a rotating micro-coring punch, which is a hollow, sharpened tube which excises full thickness dermal resections. Such punch has been adapted to treat, among other conditions, scars, acne scars, lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, melasma, and to improve skin texture and tighten the skin.
