Abstract
Embodiments of dermalogical cell treatment are described generally herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Claims20
A method of treating dermalogical tissue, comprising:
- placing a device including a plurality of pins extending from an inner surface of a distal end of the device on or near dermalogical tissue to be treated with sufficient force to cause at least a first and second adjacent pins of the plurality of pins having a length and shape to penetrate dermalogical tissue;
- and
- directing a signal generator electrically coupled to the first pin via a first wire and electrically coupled to the second pin via a second wire, forming a dipole pair, and the generator producing a first signal on the first wire for conduction by the first pin and producing a second, different signal on the second wire for conduction by the second, adjacent pin to form a dipole pair to affect dermalogical cells near the dipole pair.
An apparatus for treating dermalogical tissue, comprising:
- a device including a plurality of pins extending from an inner surface of a distal end of the device, at least a first and second adjacent pins of the plurality of pins having a length and shape to enable each pin to penetrate dermalogical tissue;
- and
- a signal generator electrically coupled to the first pin via a first wire and electrically coupled to the second pin via a second wire to form a dipole pair, the generating producing a first signal on the first wire for conduction by the first pin, and producing a second, different signal on the second wire for conduction by the second, adjacent pin to affect dermalogical cells near the dipole pair.
