Patents by Inventor Yoram Harth

Yoram Harth has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9844682
    Abstract: A skin treatment device for home use is provided herein. The device has enhanced safety features and improved operation efficiency. RF energy is delivered under strict control to a relatively small and well localized volume of the skin, avoiding excessive heating of the skin surface. Surface heating is monitored both by direct temperature measurement and by movement monitoring of the device to ensure proper use and prevent skin overheating and the pain associated therewith.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9827437
    Abstract: Radiofrequency (RF) skin treatment devices and methods are provided herein. RF energy is delivered via electrodes in a phase-controlled manner which heats skin volumes below the surface more than the skin surface itself. At least one electrode at least partially encloses at least one other electrode. The combination of controlling the phases of the RF energy delivered to different electrodes and the enclosing configuration of the electrodes allows concentrating the delivered energy in specific regions below the skin surface at a particularly high efficiency. Configurations of the enclosing and the enclosed electrodes, their forms and combinations with other electrodes and the phase polarities applied to the electrodes are also provided.
