Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2767476A1] Combines the use of ultrasound and vacuum to dilate the epidermal, dermal and hypo-dermal skin layers of skin part being treated. The device (1) is designed to treat the whole skin thickness and includes unit (10) for producing ultrasound, a cup unit (1) for causing a vacuum depression which is used to dilate the layers of a skin part (P) to be treated. The above units are arranged so that during operation, the part (P) of the skin is submitted to several cycles each having a vacuum and ultrasound phase. The vacuum and ultrasound phase are partially superposed during each cycle. The ultrasound unit (10) is an ultrasonic head fed from an ultrasonic generator (11).
