Abstract: A dermabrasion apparatus operating by a flow of air and reducing substances conveyed by a pneumatic system through a handpiece. The apparatus comprises a housing, a vacuum pump, and an external tray inside of which a mixing bottle and a collecting bottle are provided. The handpiece and the bottles are disposable sterilized components, and may be kept in a plastic bag for maintaining their sterility prior to use. The components may be subjected to gamma rays while in the plastic bag, in order to provide an additional level of sterilization.

Abstract: A dermabrasion apparatus operating by a flow of air and reducing substances conveyed by a pneumatic system through a handpiece. The apparatus comprises a housing, a vacuum pump, and an external tray inside of which a mixing bottle and a collecting bottle are provided. The apparatus further comprises at least one external source of pressurized sterilized air, or other suitable gas. The handpiece and the bottles are disposable sterilized components. Two or more of the components can be color-coded and sold in a kit.

Abstract: Radio frequency current pulses are applied to the skin in a controlled manner in order to heat selected volumes of skin, thereby inducing the removal of unwanted pigments from the skin. A probe provides the radio frequency current pulses to the skin, where the probe includes first and second metallic stripes, and where the probe is connected to two coaxial cables that are respectively connected to the first and second metallic stripes. The two coaxial cables are connected to a balanced/unbalanced transformer, which in turn is connected to a radio frequency generator that provides radio frequency pulses.

Abstract: A collecting bottle for a dermabrasion apparatus includes a first connection for connecting to a handle of the dermabrasion apparatus. The handle is used to apply dermabrading material to a patient and to output a mixture of dermabrading material and skin tissue along a path to the collecting bottle that includes the first connection. The collecting bottle includes a second connection for connecting to a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump provides a reverse pressure for drawing the mixture from the handle in a direction through the path and into the collecting bottle. The collecting bottle also includes a casing, and an air filter provided inside the casing for blocking the mixture collected in the collecting bottle from being drawn out of the collecting bottle and towards the vacuum pump via the second connection.

Abstract: A dermabrasion apparatus operates by a flow of a mixture of air and reducing substances. This mix is conveyed by a pneumatic system through a contacting handle. The apparatus includes a carrying tray that houses a vacuum pump and a cup. Inside the cup, there is placed a mixing bottle and a collecting bottle. The apparatus further includes at least one of an external source of pressurized sterilized air, or other suitable gas. The handle and the bottles are disposable sterilized components.

Abstract: A device for microdermoabrasion using a flow of a mixture of air and reducing substances, the device including a casing with a vacuum pump and a compressor at an interior of the casing. The device further having a control footswitch for actuating the compressor, a mixing bulb and a collecting bulb at an exterior of the casing, and a handpiece extending between the mixing bulb and the collecting bulb. The mixing bulb contains a mixture of air and reducing substances. The mixing bulb, the handpiece and the collecting bulb are monoblocks and are contained in a single cylinder block which is detachably connected to the casing.

Abstract: A mixing bottle for a dermabrasion apparatus includes a casing, and a suction tube provided inside the casing. The suction tube includes at least one hole for receiving contents disposed within the casing. In one configuration, the mixing bottle is configured as a mono-block.
