Abstract

Certain therapies involving delivering materials, such as light absorbing particles, to the surface of a subject'"'"'s skin. Thereafter, the movement of the material into skin structures, such as follicles, is facilitated by a mechanical device such as a massager. The present application describes certain devices useful in such therapies.

Claims

1-4. -4. (canceled)

5. A device for delivering a fluid to skin while massaging said skin comprising:

A device body, said device body comprising a battery and a battery operated motor in electrical communication with said battery;

A massage head coupled to said motor in a manner effective to massage said skin;

Said device body further comprising a receptacle for securely holding a delivery container;

Said receptacle having a piston which is advanced in small increments within said delivery container in response to an input signal supplied by depressing a button on a surface of said device body, said piston advances dispensing a small volume of fluid from said delivery container to said skin adjacent to where said massage head is massaging said skin.

6. The device of claim 5 wherein said delivered volume per increments between 0.1 and 0.3 ml.

7. A disposable delivery element comprising:

A container having a sterile interior comprising a volume of between about 0.5 and 10 ml;

Said container further comprising a delivery member having a sealed state and a delivery state through which a composition comprising particles can be delivered; and

Said container further comprising a member effective to pressurize said fluid within said container so as to deliver said composition through said delivery member in said delivery state.

8. The disposable delivery element of claim 7 further comprising a shape adapted for insertion into a delivery device.
