Fluid skin treatment systems and methods

Abstract

The present invention relates to devices for dermatology and more particularly to fluid enhanced skin treatment system for skin rejuvenation that can optionally use an abrasive probe for removing epidermal layers while contemporaneously providing for the infusion of therapeutic fluids into the skin.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A microdermabrasion system for treating a tissue for use with a fluid source and a negative-pressure source, the system comprising:
 a device body having an applicator end, the applicator end comprising a tissue contact surface being recessed within the applicator end;   at least one fluid opening configured to deliver a fluid from the fluid source to the skin contact surface;   at least one negative pressure opening configured to apply the negative pressure source therethrough to draw the tissue against the tissue contact surface, wherein when the tissue is positioned against the applicator end, the negative pressure source pulls the fluid from the at least one fluid opening; and   at least one vibratory element positioned in the device body, where actuation of the vibratory element causes a vibratory motion of the applicator end.
