1. ) A mechanical oscillation treatment device comprising:
- a body;
a motor positioned within the body;
a drive shaft coupled to the motor, wherein the motor is adapted to power the drive shaft; and
a contact surface coupled to said drive shaft, the contact surface adapted to frictionally engage human skin,and wherein the motor and drive shaft are adapted to drive the contact surface to impart an orbital oscillating motion to the contact surface.

Abstract
A device and a method for treating cellulite is disclosed. An oscillation therapy device includes a body, a motor, a drive shaft powered by the motor, and a contact surface coupled to the drive shaft, which may be substantially enclosed in a covering adapted to frictionally engage human skin. The motor and drive shaft drive the contact surface to impart an oscillating motion to the contact surface and to skin in contact with the surface.

16. ) A method of applying mechanical oscillating energy to human tissue, said method comprising:
-
contacting an area of tissue characterized by cellulite with the contact surface of an mechanical oscillation treatment device; and applying power to the motor of said device while said contact surface is in contact with an area of human tissue to apply orbital oscillating energy to the tissue by oscillating the contact surface in a direction approximately parallel to a surface of the tissue in an orbital motion to induce shearing and stretching forces in the tissue. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
