Abstract
An endermology body massager having at least two rollers spaced from each other in a parallel configuration. The rollers rotate in the same direction and are rotatably mounted movable axes. A vacuum source is connected to the chamber that houses the rollers. The vacuum source facilitates the suction of the skin between the rollers and helps bring the rollers closer to each other during operation. The rollers or housing have ultrasound generators that are selectively controlled by the operator. In a first embodiment, the ultrasound generators are located within the rollers. In the second embodiment, the ultrasound generators are disposed in the housing around the rollers. Therefore, a controlled and combined endermology with ultrasound treatment can be achieved.
Claims8
A combination endermology ultrasound apparatus for breaking down subcutaneous fatty tissue beneath the skin surface, the combination comprising:
- an endermology body massager including a housing having a vacuum input for connection with a vacuum source, a vacuum chamber coupled to the vacuum input, and at least two spaced apart parallel rollers rotatably mounted in said chamber;
- and
- ultrasound means disposed within said housing for emitting ultrasonic energy to the skin surface.
