Abstract: A system is provided for increasing skin rejuvenation of a region of a patient's skin comprising a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) frequency generator for constantly providing electromagnetic pulses to said region of a patient's skin and a deep tissue diathermy device for constantly applying heat to said region of a patient's skin up to temperature T. The system is adapted for simultaneously applying heat and PEMF to the region of a patient's skin. Application of the system increases skin rejuvenation such that the skin rejuvenation increase (SRI) is greater than the sum of the SRI provided by electromagnetic pulses increase and the SRI provided by the deep tissue diathermy device increase.

Abstract: A method for treating cellulite on a patient's skin includes identifying at least one region of said patient's skin with cellulite. The method includes generating at least one scar tissue in at least one tissue portion in said region of skin, thereby generating at least one septa-like scar tissue in said region of said patient's skin. The method further includes stabilizing said at least one septa-like scar tissue. Generating at least one septa-like scar tissue in said region of said patient's skin treats cellulite.

Abstract: A method for treating cellulite on a patient's skin is provided. The method includes identifying at least one region of said patient's skin with cellulite. The method further includes generating at least one scar tissue in at least one tissue portion in said region of skin, thereby generating at least one septa-like scar tissue in said region of said patient's skin. The step of generating at least one septa-like scar tissue in said region of said patient's skin treats cellulite.

Abstract: A method for treating a patient's skin is provided. The method includes identifying at least one region of said patient's skin in need of treatment. The method includes forming at least one interference of at least one tissue portion in said region of skin, thereby generating at least one scar-like fibrous tissue in said region of said patient's skin. Rotational Fractional Resection (“RFR”) is a procedure which may be used to achieve focal aesthetic contouring by removing fractions of lax skin and excess fat tissue from a patient. Skin may be removed by the use of a rotating micro-coring punch, which is a hollow, sharpened tube which excises full thickness dermal resections. Such punch has been adapted to treat, among other conditions, scars, acne scars, lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, melasma, and to improve skin texture and tighten the skin.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided useful in various procedures, including hair harvesting and implantation, and further including computer-implemented and/or robotic hair transplantation. Methodologies are provided which enable selection of follicular unit harvesting or implanting sites within the same row in a direction of travel of the tool, or by incrementing to another row. In various cases, such selection may be made using a lowest and closest method, overlap-based methods, position-based methods, pattern-based methods, and/or a combination of these methods. In various combinations of the methods, the output selection from one of the methods may be used as an input for one of the other methods.

Abstract: A method of directional skin tightening by fractional treatment of the skin is provided. The method includes producing a plurality of excised tissue portions in a region of skin tissue. The method further includes applying contraction or expansion tension to the region of skin tissue in at least one predetermined direction. Applying the contraction or expansion tension to the region of skin tissue promotes collagen growth and provides directional skin tightening in the region of skin tissue.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided useful in various procedures, including hair harvesting and implantation, and further including computer-implemented and/or robotic hair transplantation. Methodologies are provided which enable a tool, such as a hair harvesting or a hair implantation tool, to proceed at least under a partial computer control in a selected direction of travel along a donor or recipient area of the patient, as well as changing direction of travel based on desired harvesting and/or implantation criteria.
