Microdermabrasion Treatment Heads

Abstract

An abrasive tip is used to exfoliate skin and tissue through abrasive materials integrated in the tip. The tip also delivers fluid to the skin and vacuums the fluid and abraded tissue during treatment. Treated skin will look younger and healthier in appearance. In an implementation, the tip is replaceable and disposable.

The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 forming an abrading surface formed on a first side of a tip of a microdermabrasion device;   forming a collar portion on a second side of the tip;   forming a plurality of fluid channels formed on a second side of the tip, each channel extending through the collar through a first edge to a second edge of the tip, wherein the second edge of the tip is perpendicular to and touches the first side, and an angle between the first side and the first edge is less than ninety degrees; and   forming at least one key notch, formed on the collar portion between two channel openings, wherein a surface of the collar is perpendicular to the first side.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the first side of the device comprises a circle shape. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein each fluid channel is a groove formed in the first edge. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein there is a split in the collar portion at each point where a fluid channel passes through the collar. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of fluid channels are evenly distributed about the second edge. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  wherein an angle between the fluid channels is 360 degrees divided a total number of fluid channels. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein a first fluid channel has a first end at the first edge, a second fluid channel has a second end at the first edge, and the first and second ends are opposite of each other on the first edge. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the tip comprises four fluid channels. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1  wherein abrading surface comprises an abrasive disk coupled to the first side. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the abrading surface comprises a plurality of bristles coupled to the first side. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the collar comprises at least one key notch for each channel. 
     
     
         12 . A method comprising:
 forming an abrading surface formed on a first side of a tip of a microdermabrasion device;   forming a collar portion on a second side of the tip;   forming a plurality of fluid channels formed on the second side of the tip, each channel extending through the collar portion through a first edge to a second edge of the tip, wherein the second edge of the tip is perpendicular to and touches the first side, and an angle between the first side and the first edge is less than ninety degrees; and   at least one key notch, formed on the collar portion between two channel openings, wherein a surface of the collar portion is perpendicular to the first side.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the plurality of fluid channels can conduct a fluid. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the fluid comprises a liquid. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the fluid comprises a gas. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the tip comprises four fluid channels. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the collar includes at least one key notch for each channel. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 12  wherein the abrading surface comprises a plurality of bristles coupled to the first side. 
     
     
         19 . A method comprising:
 forming an abrading surface on a planar surface on a first side of a tip of a microdermabrasion device;   forming a collar portion on a second side of the tip, wherein the second side is opposite of the first side, and the collar portion extends perpendicularly to the planar structure;   forming a plurality of fluid channels on a second side of the tip, each channel extending through the collar through a first edge to a second edge of the tip, wherein the second edge of the tip is perpendicular to and touches the first side, and an angle between the first side and the first edge is less than ninety degrees; and   forming at least one key notch on the collar portion between two channel openings, wherein a surface of the collar is perpendicular to the first side.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 20  wherein the abrading surface comprises a plurality of bristles coupled to the first side.
