Microdermabrasion treatment heads
An abrasive tip is used to exfoliate skin and tissue through abrasive materials integrated in the tip. The tip also delivers fluid to the skin and vacuums the fluid and abraded tissue during treatment. Treated skin will look younger and healthier in appearance. In an implementation, the tip is replaceable and disposable.
1. A microdermabrasion device comprising:
a tip comprising an abrading surface formed on a first side;
a collar portion on a second side of the tip, wherein the second side is opposite of the first side;
a plurality of fluid channels formed on a second side of the tip, each channel extending through the collar through a first edge to a second edge of the tip, wherein the second edge of the tip is perpendicular to and touches the first side, and an angle between the first side and the first edge is less than ninety degrees; and
at least one key notch, formed on the collar portion between two channel openings, wherein a surface of the collar is perpendicular to the first side,
wherein fluid channels on the second side of the tip mate with corresponding fluid channels in a tip holder to form complete fluid channel openings.
2. The device of claim 1 wherein the first side of the tip comprises a circle shape.
3. The device of claim 1 wherein each fluid channel is a groove formed in the first edge.
4. The device of claim 1 wherein there is a split in the collar portion at each point where a fluid channel passes through the collar.
5. The device of claim 1 wherein the plurality of fluid channels are evenly distributed about the second edge.
6. The device of claim 1 wherein an angle between the fluid channels is 360 degrees divided a total number of fluid channels.
7. The device of claim 1 wherein a first fluid channel has a first end at the first edge, a second fluid channel has a second end at the first edge, and the first and second ends are opposite of each other on the first edge.
8. The device of claim 1 wherein the tip comprises four fluid channels.
9. The device of claim 1 wherein abrading surface comprises an abrasive disk coupled to the first side.
10. The device of claim 1 wherein the collar comprises at least one key notch for each channel.
11. The device of claim 1 wherein the abrading surface is planar.
12. The device of claim 1 wherein the fluid channels do not pass through the abrading surface.
13. The device of claim 1 wherein the tip is removable, and the at least one key notch aligns the tip for insertion into the microderabrasion device.
14. The device of claim 1 wherein the tip comprises four or fewer fluid channels.
15. The device of claim 1 wherein the abrading surface is planar and the collar portion extends in a direction perpendicular to the abrading surface.
16. The device of claim 1 wherein the at least one key notch extends from the collar surface in a direction away from a center axis through the tip.
17. A microdermabrasion device comprising:
a tip comprising an abrading surface coupled to a planar tip structure formed on a first side;
a collar portion on a second side of the tip, wherein the second side is opposite of the first side, and the collar portion extends perpendicularly to the planar tip structure;
a plurality of fluid channels formed on a second side of the tip, each channel extending through the collar through a first edge to a second edge of the tip, wherein the second edge of the tip is perpendicular to and touches the first side, and an angle between the first side and the first edge is less than ninety degrees; and
at least one key notch, formed on the collar portion between two channel openings, wherein a surface of the collar is perpendicular to the first side,
wherein fluid channels on the second side of the tip mate with corresponding fluid channels in a tip holder to form complete fluid channel openings.
18. The device of claim 17 wherein the abrading surface comprises aluminum oxide particles.
19. The device of claim 17 wherein there is a split in the collar portion at each point where a fluid channel passes through the collar.
20. The device of claim 17 wherein the abrading surface comprises a continuous circular disk having no openings within boundaries of the disk.
21. The device of claim 17 wherein the fluid channels comprise grooves on the second side of the tip, and the grooves do not pass through the abrading surface.
22. The device of claim 17 wherein the tip is made of a polymer.
23. The device of claim 17 wherein the at least one key notch extends from the collar surface in a direction away from a center axis through the tip.
