Claims30
A microdermabrasion system comprising:
- a console;
- and
- a hand piece comprising:
- a tip, coupled to a fluid tube coupled to the console, wherein the tip comprises an abrading surface formed on a front surface of the tip and a plurality of fluid channels, wherein the plurality of fluid channels terminate on a side surface of the tip;
- a receptacle, comprising a recessed region to removably couple the tip to the hand piece, wherein the receptacle comprises a first fluid channel opening that is coupled to a plurality of second fluid channel openings formed in the recessed region, and the first fluid channel opening is situated between the plurality of second fluid channel openings, and
- when the tip is coupled to the receptacle, the second fluid channel openings are coupled to a plurality of third fluid channel openings of the tip, and a back of the tip blocks flow of the first fluid channel opening and alters the flow from the first fluid channel opening to the second fluid channel openings;
- a vacuum opening, coupled to a vacuum tube coupled to the console, wherein the vacuum opening is outside a periphery of the tip;
- and
- a plurality of radiation sources, each radiation source coupled to an electrical wire coupled to the console, wherein the radiation sources are separate from the tip, and the tip is replaceable independently of the radiation sources.

A micro dermabrasion device comprising a hand piece comprising:
- an elongated handle comprising a first passageway and a second passageway, wherein the first and second passageways extend from a proximal end to a distal end of the handle;
- a tip holder, coupled to the distal end of the handle, comprising at least a first opening coupled to the first passageway and a plurality of second fluid channels, wherein the second fluid channels are coupled to the first opening, the second fluid channels extend radially from the first opening along a first conical curved surface of the tip holder, and the tip holder is adapted to removably couple to a tip comprising a second conical curved surface that mates with the first conical curved surface;
- a second opening, coupled to the second passageway;
- and
- a plurality of radiation sources, coupled to the handle, and a distance between a radiation source and an edge of the tip is less than twice a longest distance across a face of the tip, wherein the radiation sources are separate from the tip, and the tip is replaceable independently of the radiation sources.
