Device for dermabrasion
First Claim
1. Device for skin dermabrasion through gentle contact of the skin with an abrasive, the device comprising a handleable housing and abrasive driving means, wherein it comprises, in combination, an arcuate abrasive surface that extends along an arc of a cylindrical surface with the abrasive surface on the curved outside of the arc, the arcuate abrasive surface being held by a support mounted in or on the housing for an oscillatory motion caused by said driving means allowing oscillation of the arcuate abrasive surface about the axis of said cylindrical surface, and a support surface surrounding the oscillatory arcuate abrasive surface at least on two opposing sides, said axis of oscillation of the arcuate surface being parallel to said two opposing sides of the support surface, said two opposing sides leaving a gap to allow oscillating motion of the arcuate abrasive surface in said gap with the arcuate abrasive surface oscillable across the gap between said two sides, the device being arranged in such a way as to allow, solely by the manual application of the support surface against the skin and around the region of the skin to be treated, the gentle contact of this region of the skin with the oscillating arcuate abrasive surface.

Abstract
Skin dermabrasion device by gently contacting the skin with an abrasive, comprising a handleable housing (10) and driving means for the abrasive. This device is intended in particular for cosmetic treatments of the epidermis called microepidermabrasion. The device comprises a curved abrasive surface (30) held by a support (32) mounted in or on the housing (10, 18) for an oscillatory motion allowing the oscillation of the curved abrasive surface (30) about its axis. A support surface (40) surrounds the abrasive surface (30) on at least two opposing sides leaving a gap to allow the oscillating motion. The device is arranged in such a way as to allow, by the application of the support surface (44) against the skin (50) and around the region of the skin to be treated, the gentle contact of this region of skin with the oscillating abrasive surface. Thus a microabrasion of the epidermis through the oscillation of the curved abrasive surface (30) lightly applied against the skin is achieved, thanks to the support surface (40) that prevents any injury or penetration beyond the epidermis.
