    摘要: Apparatus is provided for use with skin of a subject, the apparatus including a handheld unit and an ultrasound transducer disposed in the handheld unit and configured to transmit ultrasound energy into the skin. An outwardly-facing surface of the handheld unit includes a transducer-skin interface that is configured (a) to contact the skin when the handheld unit is positioned against the skin and (b) to slide against the skin. A sensor is disposed in the handheld unit and is configured to detect a distance between the transducer-skin interface to a bone under the skin of the subject when the transducer-skin interface is positioned against the skin. Control circuitry is configured to drive the ultrasound transducer to apply the ultrasound energy into the skin at different respective power levels according to the detected distance.

    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.
