Abstract: The present invention concerns ultrasonic methods and devices for altering activity of layers of natural--or of artificial tissues and organs, and for altering activity of particular components within said layers, while minimizing alterations in neighboring layers located deeper to—or outer to—treated layer. It is carried out by focused or non focused irradiation at certain angles and preferably via cooling medium, so to at least partially create surface waves propagating in the appropriate layers, and altering their activity, while leaving the other layers essentially intact. System can allow also monitoring of beam location and of effect. The device can be constructed for either superficial treatment, or minimal invasive treatment, or layered tissues and organs. It can be used as stand alone or add on device in cosmetic and clinical applications.

Abstract: An apparatus for treating tissue includes a first energy application device to direct energy at tissue of a patient to cause at least one channel to be formed and a controller to control application of energy from the first energy application device to form the at least one channel. The at least one channel may be in the shape of a spiral-like shape or may be in a flower-like shape. Mechanisms are provided to help open channels formed in the human skin structure. A second energy application source may be used to maintain the channel open after formation. The controller may cause the first energy application device to form a plurality of channels of varying depth, width and distribution over the human skin surface. The apparatus to control the application of energy may be operated using a foot-activated pedal.

Abstract: A tissue treatment system and a treatment applicator provide multi-modality treatment of skin, tissue and organ conditions and pathologies using different types of treatment energy, alone or in combination, including radiofrequency (RF) energy and ultrasound energy to achieve multiple and different treatment effects that are tissue-specific and tissue depth-specific. The system and the applicator according to the invention selectively and fractionally and, as an option, nonfractionally, treat one or more tissue zones within a three-dimensional volume of skin or other soft tissue with one or more energy types and precisely target measured treatment energy to specific tissue types, tissue layers and/or specific depths or locations within the volume of skin or tissue. The system and the applicator can also target one or more energy types to treat a specific location or depth within a given tissue layer.
