Publication number: 20070173749Abstract: A massage mechanism includes a housing containing substantially uni-directional roller components. The rollers are able to rotate in one direction, but either not easily or not at all in the opposite direction. Each roller of a total of two rollers is able to rotate in a direction that is opposite of the other roller. The effect of the described configuration is that as the roller massage device moves across a skin surface of a patient, a leading edge roller is able to roll, while a trailing edge roller is held stationary, or substantially stationary. The stationary roller on the trailing edge of the roller massage device pushes against the skin, generating a skin fold. The skin fold can be further generated and magnified by the provision of a vacuum pressure within a chamber of the roller massage device, suctioning the skin up into the device, working in conjunction with the rollers. In addition, an electromagnetic force can be applied to the skin fold.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2007Publication date: July 26, 2007Applicant: BioCellulase, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Edwin Williams, Elliot Lach

Patent number: 7033382Abstract: A system and method for the treatment of body tissue is provided that includes a radiation-emitting device and a massaging mechanism. In accordance with one embodiment, the radiation-emitting device is a laser and the massaging mechanism is an automated mechanical massaging mechanism. The radiation-emitting device can emit radiation in one or both of the visible and infrared wavelengths. The radiation-emitting device can emit radiation in a concentric combination of infrared and visible laser light. The method of using the tissue treatment system includes exposing a skin surface of a patient to radiation emitted from the radiation-emitting device at predetermined wavelengths for predetermined periods of time. The method further provides for massaging the exposed skin surface of the patient with the massaging mechanism. The tissue treatment system can be utilized to effect the reduction of excess cellulite.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2003Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: BioCellulase, Inc.Inventor: Elliot Lach
