Publication number: 20130281915Abstract: Methods and an apparatus for extracting an underlying sebum of a pilosebaceous unit for the treatment of acne or closed comedones is disclosed. The method includes placing a vacuum suction pressure device on a surface of a skin area to be treated for an acne condition, applying the vacuum suction pressure on the surface of the skin area to pull the skin area into an aperture opening of the vacuum suction pressure device and to extract an underlying sebum of the pilosebaceous unit, puncturing the surface of the skin area containing at least one pilosebaceous unit with at least one micro-needle insert unit recessed into the aperture opening of the vacuum suction pressure device to create a lesion on the pilosebaceous unit and applying a subsequent dose of vacuum suction pressure or an application of broad band light to the skin area to be treated.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2012Publication date: October 24, 2013Applicant: Theravant, Inc.Inventor: ROBERT S.

Patent number: 8192429Abstract: A medical device to eradicate abnormality is provided. In one embodiment, the medical device includes a needle and an electrode. The medical device further includes a processor to automatically determine a portion of a biological tissue is associated with an abnormality when a sample density of an immediate area surrounding the needle in the biological tissue matches a target density as determined based on one or more of a chemical composition and a pigmentation of the abnormality. The processor calculates a resonant frequency to eradicate a presence of the abnormality based on the chemical composition and/or the pigmentation of the abnormality as determined through one or more of a conductivity, a capacitance, and an inductance of the abnormality. The medical device also includes a signal source to electrically couple the needle with the electrode to form a closed circuit when the needle and electrode contact the biological tissue.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2010Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Theravant, Inc.Inventor: Robert S Anderson
