Pedro Giammarusti has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Devices and methods for promoting transcutaneous movement of substances
    Publication number: 20050054970
    Abstract: A non-invasive method of enhancing the permeability of the skin to a biologically active permeant or compound is described utilizing a combination of sonophoresis and chemical enhancers. Synergism brought simultaneously applying iontophoresis, electroporation, mechanical vibrations and magnetophoresis is used to optimize the transcutaneous active permeation of compounds, considerably lowering the time of treatment.The method is intended also for, among others, the non-invasive painless treatment of cellulitis, localized fat stretch marks and flacid skin.
    Type: Application

  • Optimization of transcutaneous active permeation of compounds through the synergistic use of ultrasonically generated mechanical abrasion of the skin, chemical enhancers and simultaneous application of sonophoresis, iontophoresis, electroporation, mechanical vibrations and magnetophoresis through single application devices
    Publication number: 20030233085
    Abstract: A non-invasive method of enhancing the permeability of the skin to a biologically active permeant or compound is described utilizing a combination of sonophoresis and chemical enhancers. The previous preparation of the skin using an ultrasonically generated mechanical skin scrubbing action is also described. Synergism brought simultaneously applying iontophoresis, electroporation, mechanical vibrations and magnetophoresis is used to optimize the transcutaneous active permeation of compounds, considerably lowering the time of treatment. The method is intended also for, among others, the non-invasive painless treatment of cellulitis, localized fat, stretch marks and flacid skin.
