Systems and methods for usage replenishment

摘要

Provided are dermatological medical devices and methods comprising a distal end for positioning at a region proximal a target therapeutic region of tissue, an output port at the distal end, an energy source that generates optical energy, which is output from the output port to the target therapeutic region of tissue, and a microcontroller that processes replenishment data that controls an operation parameter of the device. The device is activated for performing a treatment operation in response to a receipt and processing of the replenishment data.

1. A dermatological medical device, comprising:
a distal end for positioning at a region proximal a target therapeutic region of tissue below a skin surface; an output port at the distal end; an energy source that generates optical energy having a total optical power pulse width, and further having wavelengths that are output from the output port to the target therapeutic region of tissue, the target therapeutic region of tissue at a dermis below the skin surface; a control device including a microprocessor configured to control the optical energy output to the target therapeutic region of tissue to be at a first amount of power that increases a temperature of the region of tissue by 2° C. to 8° C. to a peak temperature that is less than or equal to a pain threshold temperature followed by a reduction in power from the first amount of power to a second amount of power that maintains a temperature of the region of tissue at or below the pain threshold temperature, wherein the control device further controls the total optical power pulse width to be less than 2 seconds providing a thermal treatment duration of 2-10 seconds that translates to a production of heat shock proteins (HSPs) at the target therapeutic region at the dermis; and the microcontroller further configured to process replenishment data that controls an operation parameter of the dermatological medical device, wherein the control device is activated for performing a treatment operation in response to a receipt and processing of the replenishment data.
