Embodiment Construction

[0032] now refer to figure 1 , which illustrates a cross-sectional view of an applicator 100 having a housing 102 housing one or more vacuum chambers. For example, figure 1 Two vacuum chambers 104 are illustrated. Chamber 104 is defined by the inner surfaces of walls 106 and 108 , enclosed portion 110 and the surface of skin tissue 116 . The sealing edge 114 of the wall 106 may be flared to increase the contact area with the surface of the skin tissue 116 and provide a better seal therebetween. Additionally, the sealing edge 114 of the wall 108 may be coated with a high friction coating in order to enhance the massaging of the pushed skin tissue 116 . For example, the vacuum chamber may be of the type disclosed in assignee's assigned US patent application Serial No. 12 / 503,834, which is hereby incorporated by reference.

Abstract

An apparatus for massaging of skin and sub-dermis and treating the massaged skin by heat. The apparatus includes housing with two adjacent vacuum chambers sharing a common wall between them and an energy delivery surface. A source of negative pressure communicates with the vacuum chambers and alternates the negative pressure between the chambers to effect back and forth massaging movement of skin tissue in parallel to the surface of the skin. The energy delivery surface heats the skin in the chambers.

Description

technical field [0001] The method and apparatus relate to the field of body shaping devices, and more particularly, to methods and devices for cosmetic massage treatments of human skin and subdermis. Background technique [0002] Cellulite affects approximately 85-90% of postpubertal women and some men of all races and is characterized by an unpleasant wrinkled appearance of the skin. It mainly appears around the arms, hips, thighs, and buttocks. [0003] The collagen fiber wall of the subdermal fat layer, named the septum, connects the subdermal fat to the skin. Cellulite appears when subdermal fat cells are pushed up and the septum is pushed down, pulling on the skin to which they are attached. Thus, the septum encourages the fat cells deposited therebetween to form small bumps that protrude from the skin surface and contribute to the characteristic wrinkled, dimpled appearance of the skin surface. [0004] A number of therapies are used for the management of cellulite,...
