Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation delivery apparatus for tissue treatment, including a source of electromagnetic radiation, an emission window which is optically coupled to the source of electromagnetic radiation and is able to emit electromagnetic radiation, at least one recess provided in a skin contact area, and a pressure gauge for measuring a pressure inside the recess or a pressure correlated therewith. The electromagnetic radiation delivery apparatus for tissue treatment includes a pump for creating an overpressure inside the recess.

Abstract: The invention provides an optical treatment system comprising a first optical window (20), a light source (14), a control unit (18) for controlling the light source (14) such that optical radiation at the first optical window (20) has at least one optical parameter with a predetermined first value, and comprising at least one transmitting adjustment member (30) having a second optical window (34) and being positionable such that optical radiation is emittable via the second optical window (34), said optical treatment system further comprising an optical parameter control means (36, 38; 42; 46, 48, 50; 52; 54) that is arranged to control said at least one optical parameter to have a predetermined second value at the second optical window (34). The optical parameter control means may be active, and influence the control unit (18) or light source (14), and/or passive, and influence the radiation emitted through the first optical window (20) by filtering, reflection, absorption, etc.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic radiation delivery apparatus (10) for tissue treatment, comprising a source of electromagnetic radiation (14), an emission window (16) which is optically coupled to the source of electromagnetic radiation (14) and is able to emit electromagnetic radiation, at least one recess (18) provided in a skin contact area, and a pressure gauge (20) for measuring a pressure inside the recess (18) or a pressure correlated therewith. In accordance with the invention electromagnetic radiation delivery apparatus (10) for tissue treatment comprises means (22) for creating an overpressure inside the recess (18).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a skin-treatment device comprising an exit window (12; 14) through which electromagnetic radiation (16) is transmitted during operation of the skin-treatment device (10). In accordance with the invention, the skin-treatment device comprises dirt-preventing means (18-42) associated with the exit window (12; 14).

Abstract: A personal care system (1) comprising a personal care appliance (2) which comprises a body (3), an additive outlet (7), and a first reservoir (8) which is connected with said additive outlet (7) and has a refill inlet (25) for refilling said reservoir (8), a refill unit (16) comprising a refill outlet (35) which can be coupled to the refill inlet (25) of the personal care appliance (2) for refilling the first reservoir (8), which refill unit (16) comprises a second reservoir (26) and means (13) for transporting additive from the second reservoir (26) to the first reservoir (8), when the personal care appliance (2) is coupled to the refill unit (16). The refill unit (16) is provided in a holder (5) for storing the personal care appliance when it is not in use. When the personal care appliance is stored in the same holder in which it is placed to be refilled, both functions are integrated into one holder.

Abstract: In a personal care apparatus (1) with an air pump (3) and with a suction piece (8) the suction piece (8) is of tubular design and is equipped with just one single circumferentially defined suction aperture (13), the suction piece (8) having at least two suction piece sections (14, 15) extending to the suction aperture (13), which are radially adjustable and designed to exert a force on a skin protuberance formed under the suction, and the suction piece (8) having at least two sealing parts (19, 20) of elastically deformable design likewise extending to the suction aperture (13) and defining the suction aperture (13) and having an airtight connection to the two suction piece sections (14, 15).

Abstract: In a personal care system (1) with a personal care device (2) and a cooling device (3), the cooling device (3) has a housing (7) of plastics material and a heat-conducting device (11) of metal, wherein the heat-conducting device (11) has a portion (14) that passes through the housing (7), in which portion (14) is provided at least one groove-like depression (21) that opens onto the outer surface (20) of the portion (14) and behind whose side-walls (23, 24) portions (25, 26) of the housing (7) hook.
