Devices and methods for treating the skin using a rollerball or a wicking member
First Claim
1. A skin treatment assembly, comprising:
- a handpiece comprising a distal end, the handpiece comprising a recess or cavity configured to receive a cartridge or other fluid container;
a tip configured to be positioned along the distal end of the handpiece, the tip being configured to contact a skin surface of a subject during use;
at least one rollerball configured to extend to or near the tip, wherein the at least one rollerball is configured to be in fluid communication with an interior of a cartridge or other fluid container secured to the handpiece, wherein the at least one rollerball is configured to contact the skin surface of the subject during use and to facilitate the delivery of fluids to said skin surface as the rollerball is moved relative to said skin surface;
at least one suction conduit extending to the tip, wherein the at least one suction conduit is configured to be placed in fluid communication with a vacuum source to selectively apply suction to the tip during use; and
at least one abrasive structure or member located on, near or along the tip, the at least one abrasive structure or member being configured to selectively exfoliate the subject skin during use;
wherein an area immediately proximal to the at least one rollerball is configured to increase a presence of fluids from the cartridge or other fluid container along the rollerball.
