    摘要: A housing (50) is placed on skin of a subject, and draws at least a portion of the skin within at least a part of the housing. The housing includes at least first and second support structures (34), placed in contact with a surface of skin surrounding the portion of the skin, the first support structure having a first concave surface (153) and the second support structure having a second concave surface (153) that faces the first concave surface. The apparatus includes one or more first ultrasound transducers (160) coupled to the first support structure and one or more second ultrasound transducers coupled to the second support structure. The apparatus also includes a control unit which drives the first and second ultrasound transducers to induce an implosion wave in a target region of the skin. Other embodiments are also described.

    摘要: Apparatus is provided, including first and second support structures for placement on skin of a subject. At least one of the first and second structures is moveable with respect to the other so as to draw a portion of the skin and underlying tissue of the subject between respective lateral surfaces of the support structures. At least one ultrasound transducer is moveably coupled to the first support structure along an axis of the structure that is not parallel to the lateral surface of the structure. The ultrasound transducer is configured to transmit toward the portion of skin and underlying tissue one or more forms of acoustic radiation energy, including treatment energy. At least one acoustic element is coupled to the second support structure. Other applications are also described.

    摘要: Apparatus (20) is provided comprising a skin-application portion (40), configured to move across skin of a subject. At least one acoustic element (50) is coupled to the skin-application portion (40) and configured to be placed in acoustic contact with the skin, and configured to apply ultrasound energy to the skin. The apparatus (20) additionally comprises circuitry configured to generate a current responsive to motion of the skin-application portion (40); and a control unit (10), which is configured to receive the current, to determine, responsive thereto, whether the skin-application portion (40) is moving with respect to the skin, and to drive the acoustic element (50) to apply the ultrasound energy to the skin responsive to determining that the skin-application portion (40) is moving with respect to the skin. Other embodiments are also described.
