Tissue Remodeling Apparatus Containing Cooling Fluid
US Patent:
6350276, Feb 26, 2002
Filed:
Jun 30, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/337015
Inventors:
Edward W. Knowlton - Danville CA
Assignee:
Thermage, Inc. - Hayward CA
International Classification:
A61F 700
US Classification:
607104, 607101, 607102
Abstract:
A fluid delivery apparatus for introducing a fluid cooling media to a skin surface includes a template with a skin interface surface. An energy delivery device is coupled to the template. A fluid cooling media introduction member is coupled to the template. Resources controllably deliver energy from the energy delivery device to the skin surface. In a related embodiment, the resources are configured to controllably deliver the flowable cooling media to the introduction member. In another embodiment, a sensor is coupled to the resources and to the skin surface.
Method For Controlled Contraction Of Collagen In Fibrous Septae In Subcutaneous Fat Layers
US Patent:
6377854, Apr 23, 2002
Filed:
Dec 15, 1997
Appl. No.:
08/990494
Inventors:
Edward W. Knowlton - Danville CA
Assignee:
Thermage, Inc. - Hayward CA
International Classification:
A61F 200
US Classification:
607101, 607104, 606 33
Abstract:
A method and apparatus applies radiant energy through the skin to underlying collagen tissue without substantially modifying melanocytes and other epithelial cells in the epidermis. A membrane is adapted to receive an electrolytic solution and become inflated to substantially conform a contacting exterior surface of the membrane to a skin layer. The membrane includes a cooling lumen for receiving cooling fluid. One or more thermal electrodes positioned in the membrane and transfers thermal energy to the electrolytic solution. The electrolytic solution and cooling fluid creates a reverse thermal gradient from the skin surface to the underlying collagen tissue. A thermal power source is coupled to the thermal electrodes, and a source of electrolytic solution is coupled to the membrane.

Apparatus For Controlled Contraction Of Collagen Tissue
US Patent:
6387380, May 14, 2002
Filed:
Apr 17, 1996
Appl. No.:
08/635202
Inventors:
Edward W. Knowlton - Danville CA
Assignee:
Thermage, Inc. - Hayward CA
International Classification:
A61N 140
US Classification:
424400, 600 1, 600 2, 600 9, 601 15, 606 31, 606 34, 607 96, 607101, 607113, 607154, 128898
Abstract:
A method and apparatus applies radiant energy through the skin to an underlying subcutaneous layer or deeper soft tissue layers that includes loculations of fat with fibrous septae made of collagen tissue. This creates a desired contour effect without substantially modifying melanocytes and other epithelial cells in the epidermis. A membrane conforms a contacting exterior surface of the membrane to a skin layer. One or more thermal electrodes positioned in the membrane. A focussing element focuses thermal energy to the underlying collagen tissue. The focusing element and the electrolytic solution create a reverse thermal gradient from the skin to the collagen tissue. A thermal power source is coupled to the thermal electrodes.
