Micro-abrasion device

A micro-abrasion device comprising:

• a base station;
• a handpiece configured to spray a powder onto skin;
• a flexible supply pipe connected to the base station and the handpiece and configured to supply powder from the base station to the handpiece;
• a flexible return pipe connected to the base station and the handpiece and configured to return powder from the handpiece to the base station;
• a first reservoir, removably connected to the base station, containing a powder to be supplied to the handpiece via the flexible supply pipe, the first reservoir comprising a female endpiece;
• a male endpiece mounted on the base station and configured to be introduced into the female endpiece of the first reservoir to connect the first reservoir to the flexible supple pipe, the male endpiece comprising an inlet orifice for admission of powder into the supply pipe, wherein the inlet orifice includes an axis that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the male endpiece and wherein the male endpiece includes an upper end that extends below a level of powder within the first reservoir at least prior to sucking powder from the first reservoir.

Micro-abrasion device comprising:

• a base station;
• a handpiece configured to spray a powder onto skin;
• a flexible supply pipe connected to the base station and handpiece and configured to supply powder from the base station to the handpiece;
• a flexible return pipe connected to the base station and handpiece and configured to return powder from the handpiece to the base station;
• a first reservoir, removably connected to the base station, containing a powder to be supplied to the handpiece via the flexible supply pipe and comprising a first reservoir endpiece initially closed by a puncturable seal;
• and
• a second reservoir, removably connected to the base station, configured to collect powder returning from the handpiece via the flexible return pipe and comprising a second reservoir endpiece,
• wherein the first reservoir and the second reservoir are configured to be assembled together and mounted onto the base station during use of the device, the puncturable seal of the first reservoir endpiece is configured to be punctured when the first reservoir is mounted to provide a fluid communication path between the first reservoir and the supply pipe, the second reservoir end piece provides a fluid communication path between the second reservoir and the return pipe, and the first reservoir and the second reservoir are configured so they cannot be interchangeably mounted onto the base station.
