Tips for skin treatment device
An apparatus for treating skin has a console with a user input device and a handpiece assembly. The handpiece assembly is configured to treat skin. A fluid line provides fluid communication between the console and the handpiece assembly. A manifold system is coupled to the console and controlled by the user input device. The manifold system is configured to hold releasably a plurality of fluid sources and deliver fluid from at least one of the plurality of fluid sources to the handpiece assembly.
1. A tip configured for use in a skin treatment system, comprising:
a tip body extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the tip, the proximal end being configured to couple to a handpiece assembly;
at least one first passage extending through an interior of the tip body and configured to receive a fluid and to deliver said fluid to the distal end of the tip;
at least one second passage extending through an interior of the tip body and configured to convey fluid and debris away from the distal end of the tip;
an outer member defining a periphery along the distal end, the outer member being configured to contact skin during a treatment procedure; and
at least one inner member located within an inner area of the outer member, wherein the at least one inner member comprises a spiral-like pattern;
wherein the at least one inner member is configured to abrade skin.
2. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the at least one inner member extends about the tip 1.5 or 2.5 times.
3. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the at least one inner member extends from near a center portion of the inner area at a first end to near a lateral edge of the inner area at a second end.
4. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the at least one inner member extends continuously from a first end to a second end of the at least one inner member.
5. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the tip further comprises an imbedded treatment material.
6. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the tip is configured to removably couple to the handpiece assembly.
7. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the tip is disposable.
8. The tip of claim 1 , wherein the tip is monolithically formed.
9. The tip of claim 1 , wherein a radius of the at least one inner member relative to a central point of the tip varies at least a portion of a length of the at least one inner member.
10. A tip configured for use in a skin treatment system, comprising:
a tip body extending to a proximal end of the tip, the proximal end of the tip being configured to couple to a handpiece assembly;
at least one vacuum hole configured to receive fluid and debris transferred away from a distal end of the tip body;
an outer member defining a periphery along the distal end; and
at least one inner member located within an interior area of the outer member, wherein the at least one inner member comprises a spiral-like pattern;
wherein the at least one inner member is configured to abrade skin.
11. The tip of claim 10 , wherein the tip further comprises an imbedded treatment material.
12. The tip of claim 10 , wherein the tip is configured to removably couple to the handpiece assembly.
13. The tip of claim 10 , wherein the at least one inner member extends about a central point of the tip 1.5 or 2.5 times.
14. The tip of claim 10 , wherein a radius of the at least one inner member relative to a central point of the tip varies at least a portion of a length of the at least one inner member.
15. A tip configured for use in a skin treatment system, comprising:
a distal end;
a proximal end configured to couple to a handpiece assembly;
at least one hole through which fluid is configured to be conveyed to or away from the distal end;
an outer member defining a periphery along the distal end; and
at least one inner member located within an interior area of the outer member, wherein the at least one inner member comprises a spiral-like pattern;
wherein the at least one inner member is configured to abrade skin.
16. The tip of claim 15 , wherein the tip further comprises an imbedded treatment material.
17. The tip of claim 15 , wherein the at least one inner member extends about a central point of the tip 1.5 or 2.5 times.
18. The tip of claim 15 , wherein a radius of the at least one inner member relative to a central point of the tip varies at least a portion of a length of the at least one inner member.
