1. A skin treatment hand piece comprising a tip, wherein the tip comprises:
- a treatment head, coupled to a tubular fluid passageway that extends from a proximal end toward a distal end of the hand piece; and
a tip opening, wherein the treatment head comprises a treatment surface that faces toward the tip opening,the treatment surface is within the tip opening and skin to be placed against the tip opening for treatment is outside the tip opening, and whereby when the hand piece is in use, the skin is drawn through the tip opening toward the treatment surface by a suction,there are a plurality of adjustable settings that alter a distance between the treatment surface and the tip opening, and for each of the settings, the treatment surface does not extend past the tip opening to outside the tip opening, and the distance between the treatment surface and the tip opening is greater than zero,the tip opening is provided by an adjusting collar rotatable about the tubular fluid passageway throughout the plurality of adjustable settings thereby adjusting the distance between the treatment surface and the tip opening,for a first setting of the plurality of adjustable settings, a minimum distance that can separate the tip opening and the treatment surface is greater than a distance from an end of the tubular fluid passageway to the treatment surface, such that the treatment surface within the tip opening does not extend past the tip opening and the distance between the treatment surface and tip opening is greater than zero, anda diameter of the tip opening is greater than a diameter of the treatment surface.

Abstract
A distance between a surface of a treatment head and tip opening of a skin treatment hand piece is adjustable. In an implementation, the distance is adjusted by moving the tip opening relative to the treatment head surface. Different distances may be used to treat different skin types, problems, and conditions. In an implementation, the hand piece includes a fluid delivery and a vacuum or suction mechanism to provide various therapeutic benefits to the skin.

12. A microdermabrasion device comprising:
-
a treatment surface coupled to a first structure; a second structure coupled to the first structure and comprising a first end having a tip opening, wherein the treatment surface is within the tip opening, skin to be placed against the tip opening for treatment is outside the tip opening, and a diameter of the tip opening is greater than a diameter of the treatment surface, the second structure is movable relative to the first structure, thereby allowing altering of a position of the treatment surface relative to the tip opening within the tip opening, and the treatment surface does not extend past the tip opening to outside the tip opening; and a stop member directly coupled to the first structure, wherein the stop member prevents movement of the second structure into a position such that the treatment surface extends outside of the tip opening. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
