Abstract: An improved apparatus and method of body contouring and skin conditioning for the treatment of conditions such as lymphoedema by producing vibrations in the subcutaneous layers of fat. The apparatus includes a cup which engages the patient's skin surface and a vacuum source which provides suction and a pulsating movement against the skin's surface, mimicking the movement of the lymphatic system and flushing out toxins, fat layers and trapped fluid from the area.

Abstract: A microabrasion apparatus for providing treatment of skin or other surfaces whereby a pneumatic source [(12, 38)] is operatively connected to a recovery container [(14, 22)] and to a hand tool [(16, 12)] and to one of a plurality of supply containers [(18, 26)] that house treatment particulates. A valve [(30)] controls which supply container [(18, 26)] provides the treatment particles. In operation, the user can select from different supply containers and thus different particles each of which performs different types of treatment such as abrasion. In addition, there is provided the use of a microabrasion apparatus using organic particulates that provide natural treatment of skin.
