Abstract: A delivery device (10) includes a roller (12) rotatably mounted on an axle (14), a reservoir (40), and one or more hollow needles (16) positioned in the roller (12) in fluid communication with the reservoir (40). As the roller (12) rotates about the longitudinal axis (17) of the axle (14), a piston (30) pushes contents of the reservoir (40) through the needles (16). An actuator (36) is operatively connected to the piston (30) for increasing a pushing force of the piston (30).

Abstract: A delivery device including a roller rotatably mounted on an axle, a reservoir, and at least one hollow needle positioned in the roller are in fluid communication with the reservoir, wherein as the roller rotates about the axle, contents of the reservoir pass through the at least one hollow needle.

Abstract: Apparatus for photothermolysis including a removable and disposable cartridge mounted in a hand-held housing, the cartridge including a light source connectable to a power supply external to the cartridge, a reflector arranged with respect to the light source to direct light emanating from the light source towards skin via an opening formed in the cartridge to cause removal of hair on the skin by photothermolysis, and a spectral filter for filtering the light before the light exits the opening.

Abstract: A device for heating skin including an energy source for generating heat and light energy, a reflector arranged to direct heat generated by the energy source towards a skin interface element, the skin interface element having a skin interface area sufficient for producing a heat penetration depth into skin in accordance with a treatment plan, and wherein the skin interface element includes one or more light conduits for light energy generated by the energy source to pass therethrough to skin and one or more elements for conducting heat energy generated by the energy source to the skin, wherein the light conduits are formed as at least two separate patterns separated by at least one gap surface, the gap surface arranged to direct thermal energy to the skin.

Abstract: A massaging apparatus that includes at least one massaging element in a housing and extending therefrom for use in manipulating a subject's tissue and further including a radiant heat source.

Abstract: A method and system for treating skin. The method comprises deforming the skin so that a region of skin protrudes from surrounding skin, and applying radio frequency (RF) energy to the skin. The system comprises a skin deformer that deforms a region of skin so that a region of skin protrudes out from surrounding skin. The system also comprises one or more RF elemodes configured to apply RF energy to the skin. The invention may be used to treat subcutaneous adipose tissue and cartage.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for tracking the operation of a light beam, preferably a laser light beam, which operates to treat the skin of the patient. The apparatus includes plurality of markings in accordance with the light beam impinges on the locations to be treated. The apparatus including the plurality of markings may be a cooling apparatus which also cools the skin during the treatment.

Abstract: Hair removal by using an Alexandrite laser emitting energy between 0.2-40 joules per pulse to provide an energy fluence between 15 and 70 joules per centimeter square and having a pulse duration of between 100 microseconds and 10 milliseconds. A scanner may be used to direct the laser beam on the tissue. The skin in the area to be irradiated may be shaved prior to exposure to laser treatment and may be also covered by a protective substance serving as a heat sink.
