Abstract:
A method and apparatus for adipose tissue treatment where two types of electromagnetic radiation are applied simultaneously to the volume of tissue to be treated. One type of the electromagnetic radiations is RF and the second type of electromagnetic radiation is visible or infrared radiation.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for guiding a probe delivering tissue treatment energy in laser and RF energy assisted liposuction treatment. The apparatus monitors probe location based on a signal generated between an external electrode and at least one electrode inserted in the tissue. A load cell measures the forces acting on the probe.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a disposable needle for adipose tissue treatment. The needle comprises a light conducting body having a first end and a second end. The first end is configured for introduction into adipose tissue and the second end is adapted to connect to a source of laser radiation. For adipose tissue treatment the needle is introduced into the tissue and laser radiation is applied to a segment of tissue to be treated.
Abstract:
A system (100) and method to control non-coherent pulsed light, the system (100) including a lamp (135) to produce non-coherent light energy in a pulsed mode, a current supply (105) to provide energy to the system (100), and a switching module (125) to control the spectral distribution and/or light intensity in the non-coherent pulsed light energy during a pulse of non-coherent light. The system (100) may include a controller (120) unit to control pulse parameters for a selected treatment, based on illumination data received from the light sensor (130). The system (100) may include one or more changeable filters to modulate the pulses supplied to the lamp during a pulse.
Abstract:
An integrated system for increasing skin rejuvenation of a region of a patient's skin and treating subcutaneous fat associated with the region is provided. The system includes at least one first applicator having one or more RF electrodes adapted to be placed on the region of the patient's skin without penetrating the skin. At least one of said RF electrodes is configured to apply RF energy to the region of the patient's skin to heat up to a temperature in a specified temperature range. The system also includes at least one second applicator, in communication with an optical system. The optical system includes at least one laser source and is adapted to provide homogeneous illumination to the skin surface to effect at least one target tissue at a given depth range and power density range.
