DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING THE SKIN
According to some embodiments, a method of treating a skin surface of a subject comprises heating a skin surface, abrading native skin tissue of a subject using a microdermabrasion device, wherein using the microdermabrasion device comprises moving the microdermabrasion device relative to the skin surface while simultaneously delivering at least one treatment fluid to the skin surface being treated and cooling the abraded skin surface.

11 . A skin treatment system comprising:
a handpiece comprising a tip located along a distal end of the handpiece, the tip being configured to contact skin tissue, wherein the handpiece includes at least one fluid delivery passage;
a fluid system comprising a fluid container, the fluid container configured to contain a treatment fluid, wherein at least a volume of the treatment fluid contained in the fluid container is transferred to or near the working end of the handpiece via the at least one fluid delivery passage during use; and
a thermal conditioning assembly configured to heat and cool the treatment fluid.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the thermal conditioning assembly is configured to at least partially heat or cool the treatment fluid before said treatment fluid is transferred to or near the working end of the handpiece.
13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the thermal conditioning assembly is incorporated into the handpiece.
14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the thermal conditioning assembly is incorporated into the fluid system.
15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the fluid container comprises a vial or a cartridge.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the handpiece is configured to receive the fluid container.
17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the handpiece comprises a receiving area configured to receive the fluid container.
18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the fluid system comprises a manifold, the manifold configured to receive the fluid container.
19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the fluid container comprises at least two bottles, the manifold configured to receive the at least two bottles.
20 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the handpiece comprises at least one vacuum passage, wherein the vacuum passage is configured to be placed in fluid communication with a vacuum source, the at least one vacuum passage being configured to transfer spent treatment fluid away from the tip.
21 . A skin treatment system comprising:
a handpiece comprising a distal end configured to contact skin tissue;
a fluid system in fluid communication with the handpiece, wherein the fluid system comprises a fluid container for containing a treatment fluid, wherein at least a volume of the treatment fluid contained in the fluid container is configured to be transferred to or near the distal end of the handpiece during use; and
a thermal conditioning assembly configured to heat and cool the treatment fluid.
22 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the thermal conditioning assembly is configured to at least partially heat or cool the treatment fluid before said treatment fluid is transferred to or near the distal end of the handpiece.
23 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the thermal conditioning assembly is incorporated into the handpiece.
24 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the thermal conditioning assembly is incorporated into the fluid system.
25 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the fluid container comprises a vial or a cartridge.
26 . The system of claim 25 , wherein the handpiece is configured to receive the fluid container.
27 . The system of claim 26 , wherein the handpiece comprises a receiving area configured to receive the fluid container.
28 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the fluid system comprises a manifold, the manifold configured to receive the fluid container.
29 . The system of claim 28 , wherein the fluid container comprises at least two bottles, the manifold configured to receive the at least two bottles.
30 . The system of claim 21 , wherein the handpiece comprises at least one vacuum passage, wherein the vacuum passage is configured to be placed in fluid communication with a vacuum source, the at least one vacuum passage being configured to transfer spent treatment fluid away from the distal end of the handpiece.
