1. A skin treatment assembly, comprising:
- a tip comprising a proximal end and a distal end;
a container configured to secure to the tip along the proximal end of the tip, wherein the container is configured to contain a liquid;
a porous member configured to extend at least partially within an interior of the container such that it contact a liquid contained within the container, wherein the container comprises an outer wall, and wherein a spacing exists between an outside of the porous member and an inside of the outer wall of the container; and
at least one suction passageway that extends to or near the tip, wherein the at least one suction passageway is configured to be placed in fluid communication with a suction source to selectively create suction along the distal end of the tip;
wherein the porous member is configured to extend at least partially within an interior of the tip and is configured to facilitate the transfer of liquid from the container to the distal end of the tip; and
wherein the tip comprises at least one abrasive member or structure configured to at least partially abrade skin when the assembly is moved relative to skin tissue during a treatment procedure.
