Abstract

means for performing tissue diathermy. The combination of techniques provides a synergistic improvement of the cosmetic appearance of the skin.

Claims (23)

1 . A device for providing cosmetic improvement to the skin, wherein said device comprises:

a housing 100 comprising an open end adapted for being placed against the or in proximity to the skin; and

at least one RF probe 200 provided with a coil 210 for producing RF waves, said transducer attached to a surface of said housing such that when said device is in use, said RF transducer is in physical contact with said skin; and

at least one suction unit.

2 . The device according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one acoustic transducer 300 .

3 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one first coil 310 wrapped around at least a portion of said at least one acoustic transducer 300 .

4 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said housing comprises at least one port 400 through which air can enter and exit.

5 . The device according to claim 1 , additionally comprising at least one probe 200 made of an electrically and magnetically conductive material capable of transferring energy to the skin, said at least one probe attached to a surface of said housing such that when said device is in use, said probe is in physical contact with said skin.

6 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein each of said probes is adapted to apply a substantially different RF frequency to the skin of said patient.

7 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said energy is heat being transferred to the skin.

8 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said acoustic transducer 300 is made of a metallic material.

9 . The device according to claim 1 , additionally comprising at least one second coil 210 wrapped around at least a portion of said at least one probe.

10 . The device according to claim 1 , additionally comprising at least one second coil 210 being positioned within said probe.

11 . The device according to claim 3 , wherein said at least one first coil 310 wrapped around said at least a portion of said at least one probe.

12 . The device according to claim 1 , additionally comprising a plurality of acoustic transducers, wherein a separate coil is wrapped around each acoustic transducer.

13 . The device according to claim 1 , additionally comprising a plurality of acoustic transducers, wherein a single coil is wrapped around all of said acoustic transducers.

14 . The device according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of probes.

15 . The device according to claim 13 , wherein a single coil is wrapped around all of said acoustic transducers.

16 . The device according to claim 9 , wherein at least one coil is wrapped around at least one of said probes and at least one of said acoustic transducers.

17 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said housing is adapted to produce, when the lip of said open end is placed against or in proximity to the skin and said ports are in fluid connection with means for evacuating the interior of said housing, a seal sufficiently air-tight that evacuation of air through said ports produces an at least partial vacuum within the interior of said housing.

18 . The device according to claim 1 , when the lip of said open end is placed against the skin and said ports are in fluid connection with means for evacuation of air through said ports produces an at least partial vacuum within the interior of said housing.

19 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the diameter said housing is sufficiently large relative to its depth that when the lip of said open end is placed against or in proximity to the skin, said ports are in fluid connection with means for evacuating the interior of said housing upon evacuation, and the interior of said housing is evacuated, at least part of the skin enters said housing to a depth sufficient to make contact with said at least one port.

20 . The device according to claim 18 , wherein said means for evacuating the interior of said housing are adapted to apply either pulses of suction or a constant vacuum.
