Abstract:
A device for cosmetic treatment of human skin, including: a needle for inserting into the skin; a DC power source electrically connected to the needle for providing negative current to the needle; an anode that is electrically connected to the DC power source to receive positive current, and that is adapted to be placed in contact with the skin of the person into which the needle is inserted to form a closed electrical circuit; at least one RF transmitter coupled to the needle for radiating the area around where the needle is inserted to provide heat while the needle is deployed.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus (100) are provided for treating acne using pulsed radiant energy (246) to destroy or partially destroy one or more hairs (112), without damaging the skin, or, alternatively, to destroy or partially destroy one or more acne-related structures without damaging either skin or hair.
Abstract:
A hair cutting head, for use in a hair cutting apparatus comprising: an elongated heated wire suitable for heating hair growing from a skin surface; and at least one blade, placed at one side of the elongated heated wire, the at least one blade being situated and configured to cut the hair which has been heated by the heated wire, wherein the wire is heated to a temperature of at least 50° C.
Abstract:
A hair cutting head 605, for use in a hair cutting apparatus 500 comprising: an elongated heated wire 260 suitable for shaving, cutting or burning hair growing from a skin surface; and a blunt debris removal element 650, situated and configured to remove debris or scorched hair residue from the skin after shaving, cutting or burning by the heated wire.
Abstract:
A hair cutting device (100) comprising: a housing (106); a detector adapted to detect motion of the device with respect to a skin surface (400) against which the device is juxtaposed; a hair cutting head (300) having a heated wire (260) suitable for heating hair growing from the skin, the hair cutting head being movable between a first, hair cutting position and a second retracted position at which the wire is removed from the vicinity of the skin; a controller (118) adapted to move the cutting head to the first position or to the second position when it does not responsive to said detected motion.
Abstract:
Skin treating devices and systems for delivering RF electromagnetic energy to the skin. The devices include one or more electromagnetic RF generating units, multiple RF electrode groups and a controller for controllably applying RF energy to the skin through any selected RF electrode group or any selected RF electrode group combination selected from the multiple groups. The electrodes may be stationary and/or movable electrodes. Different RF frequencies and/or frequency bands may be used. The alternation of energy application through different electrode groups at different times, and/or the changing of the inter-electrode distance and configuration by using movable RF electrodes may reduce or prevent electrode overheating, control RF energy distribution within the skin and enable use of the devices and/or for different skin treating applications.
Abstract:
A juicer for extracting juice from a fruit comprising a juicing element having an axis and a pivot operatively associated with and radially spaced from the juicing element axis, such that the juicing element axis is rotatable about the pivot.
Abstract:
A device for massaging skin, including, a RF generator adapted to generate a radio frequency AC current to heat fat tissue in the adipose layer of the skin, an electrical pulse generator adapted to generate pulses of DC current to provide electrical muscle stimulation for the muscles below the adipose layer, an applicator including one or more heads adapted to be placed in contact with the user's skin; and wherein the heads serve as massage contacts to massage the outer layer of a user's skin above the adipose layer or as electrodes to deliver the AC current and DC current, or as both.
Abstract:
A hair cutting apparatus comprising: an elongate element (260) heated to a temperature capable of cutting hair; a vibrating structure (200), on which said elongate element (260) is mounted; and a housing (106) in which the vibrating structure (200) is mounted.
