Patent number: 8870856Abstract: A system and method for using a light source to treat tissue with NIR light. The operation provides for generating higher temperatures in deeper layers of tissue relative to higher layers of tissue. The increased temperature in dermal layers can operate to induce collagen shrinkage, or remodeling. One of the light sources for providing a broad spectrum of NIR light is a filament light. The light from the filament lamp can be selectively filtered, and after filtering this light is applied to the skin, where the selective filtering can enhance the ability to elevate the temperature of deeper layers of tissue, relative to layers of tissue which are closer to the surface of the skin.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2004Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Cutera, Inc.Inventors: Kevin P. Connors, David A. Gollnick, Dean A. MacFarland, Greg Spooner

Patent number: 8474463Abstract: The invention comprises a system and method for non-ablative laser treatment of dermatologic conditions. A laser energy is transmitted to an underlying target element in the skin. The target element is heated to a temperature of at least forty degrees Celsius. In some embodiments, a pulsed, near infrared, high peak power laser energy is used. The systems and methods of the present invention may be used to treat acne, smooth wrinkles, remove hair, treat leg veins, treat facial veins, improve skin texture, decrease pore sizes, reduce rosacea, reduce “blush/diffuse redness, reduce striae, reduce scarring, or the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2010Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Cutera, Inc.Inventors: Michael Levernier, Greg Spooner, David A. Gollnick, Dean A. MacFarland

Publication number: 20120086290Abstract: A vibratory appliance includes a tool driven to oscillate by a rotary electric motor. A mechanism for converting rotary movement to oscillatory movement includes magnetic couplers moveable relative to one another. A displacement mechanism moves one of the magnetic couplers relative to the other magnetic coupler and varies the amplitude of oscillation of the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2011Publication date: April 12, 2012Applicant: HAYCO MANUFACTURING LIMITEDInventors: Bengt IVARSSON, Bettina LEINWEBER, Hei Wai CHOI, David DYCHER, Greg SPOONER, Hoss VONG, James MACKINTOSH, Yee Wah LAM, Teruo HISHIKI

Publication number: 20120073849Abstract: A vibratory appliance includes a tool driven to oscillate by a rotary electric motor. A shaft supported, at an intermediate portion by a pivot, is driven by an orbital drive mechanism. The orbital drive mechanism includes a rotor rotated about a rotor axis by the motor, an elongate part, and a coupler. The elongate part and the coupler are each fixed to a respective one of the inner end and the rotor. The elongate part and the coupler are mutually connected for sliding movement relative to one another, between first and second relative positions in which the inner end orbits about the rotor axis at first and second orbital radii, respectively, to vary the amplitude of oscillation of the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2011Publication date: March 29, 2012Applicant: HAYCO MANUFACTURING LIMITEDInventors: Bengt IVARSSON, Bettina LEINWEBER, Hei Wai CHOI, David DYCHER, Greg SPOONER, Hoss VONG, James MACKINTOSH, Yee Wah LAM, Teruo HISHIKI

Patent number: 7780652Abstract: A system and method for providing light treatments to a patients skin, which could include both dermal and epidermal regions. The system and method utilize multiple hand pieces where each hand piece can deliver light from a different light source. The system and method provide for control over the different light source corresponding to the different hand pieces based on whether the hand pieces are held in storage positions in a hand piece management unit. A control unit of the system provides operates to cause a user interface display to communicate information to a user based on the positions of the different hand pieces. Further, the system and method can provide a user with access to different aspects of the systems operation based on the positions of the hand pieces.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Cutera, Inc.Inventors: Dean A.
