Abstract: 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.
Abstract: A skin or body treatment device includes one or more removable and replaceable modules. Each module is configured to provide a skin or body treatment, underlying tissue treatment, or both. One or more applicators are coupled with the skin or body treatment device. Each applicator enables the use of the one or more removable modules to effect the skin or body or underlying tissue treatment. A selected skin or body treatment, underlying tissue treatment, or both can be implemented and performed upon selection and configuration of the one or more removable and replaceable modules and the one or more applicators required for the selected treatment.
Abstract: The invention relates to the use of low intensity light therapy for the treatment of various medical conditions, either alone, or in combination with a second procedure.
