1. A method of treating skin comprising:
- changing a distance between an opening of a treatment tip to a treatment surface, wherein the treatment surface faces toward the opening,the treatment surface is within the opening and skin to be placed against the opening for treatment is outside the opening,a first length of the opening is greater than a second length of the treatment surface,there are a plurality of adjustable settings that alter the distance between the treatment surface and the opening, and for each of the settings, the treatment surface does not extend past the opening to outside the opening, and the distance between the treatment surface and the opening is greater than zero;
applying the treatment tip to a skin surface;
providing suction outside a periphery of the treatment surface through the opening; and
drawing a portion of the skin surface through the opening toward the treatment surface using the suction, wherein the portion of the skin surface drawn is proportional to the distance.

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.

16. A method of treating skin comprising:
-
changing a distance between an opening of a treatment tip to a treatment surface, wherein the treatment surface coupled to a first structure, a second structure is coupled to the first structure and comprises a first end having the opening, wherein the treatment surface is within the opening, skin to be placed against the opening for treatment is outside the opening, and a first length of the opening is greater than a second length 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 opening within the opening, and the treatment surface does not extend past the opening to outside the opening, and a stop member is directly coupled to the first structure, and the stop member prevents movement of the second structure into a position such that the treatment surface extends outside of the opening; applying the treatment tip to a skin surface; providing suction outside a periphery of the treatment surface through the opening; and drawing a portion of the skin surface through the opening toward the treatment surface using the suction, wherein the portion of the skin surface drawn is proportional to the distance. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
