Abstract

The present invention provides a laser system and laser handpiece and process for skin treatment. The system includes components for producing a continuous or pulse laser beam, and components for delivering a substance to the damaged region of skin. The system is designed to control and utilize the laser beam for damaging small volume of skin tissue and using a disposable tip to deliver a substance which is applied simultaneously or with some delay producing a combination of laser action with the action of a named substance at the same time.

Claims

1. An accessory for an electromagnetic handpiece, the accessory comprising:

a) a plurality of applicator tips each having an opening therein;

b) wherein each of said tips has a reservoir in fluid communication with said opening, wherein each of said reservoirs is configured to contain at least one composition;

c) a connecting surface configured to connect to an electromagnetic handpiece; and

d) a plurality of caps, each in contact with said plurality of applicator tips, wherein said plurality of caps is configured to prevent the release of said composition through said openings;

e) wherein said accessory is configured to deliver said composition to the skin of a patient simultaneously with the application of electromagnetic energy to the skin of said patient when said accessory is connected to said electromagnetic handpiece.

2. The accessory of claim 1, wherein said applicator tips are conically shaped.

3. The accessory of claim 1, wherein said accessory is configured to permit electromagnetic energy from said handpiece to pass through said accessory when said accessory is connected to said handpiece.

4. The accessory of claim 1, wherein said applicator tips comprise a ball applicator.

5. The accessory of claim 1, wherein said accessory comprises a heater.

6. The accessory of claim 1, wherein said accessory is configured to permit a laser handpiece comprising a lens to deliver laser energy to the skin of a patient when said handpiece is connected to said accessory, and said accessory has a length that matches the focal length of said lens.

7. The accessory of claim 1, wherein said applicator tips form the terminal end of said handpiece when said accessory is connected to said handpiece.

8. The accessory of claim 1, wherein said reservoirs are configured to contain a composition selected from the group consisting of a suspension, solution, cream, and gel.

9. The accessory of claim 1, wherein said reservoirs are configured to contain a composition selected from the group consisting of a medication, skin care product, anesthetic, vitamin, antioxidant, stem cell factor, stem cell, ointment, growth factor, dye, fibroblast, botox, drug, antibody, hyaluronic acid, cosmetic, and combinations thereof.

10. The accessory of claim 1, wherein said accessory is configured to permit said electromagnetic handpiece to deliver energy selected from the group consisting of laser energy, microwave energy, radio frequency energy, electroporating energy, light emitting diode energy, and non-coherent light energy when said electromagnetic handpiece is connected to said accessory.

11. The accessory of claim 1, wherein said accessory is configured to permit said electromagnetic handpiece to deliver continuous laser energy or pulse laser beam energy when said electromagnetic handpiece is connected to said accessory.
