Dissection handpiece and method for reducing the appearance of cellulite

摘要

A dermatological skin treatment device is provided. The device comprises a handpiece and a cutting tool, wherein the tool is inserted through the conduit and percutaneously inserted into a tissue disposed within a recessed area of the handpiece. The device and method cut the fibrous structures under the skin that cause cellulite at an angle substantially parallel to the surface of the skin and replace these structures with a non-cellulite forming structure by deploying a highly fibrous mesh through a single needle hole to create a highly fibrous layer directly or through wound healing processes.

1. A tissue treatment system, comprising:
a handpiece having a tissue engaging chamber defining a treatment region in which target tissue may be positioned, the tissue engaging chamber having a top and being configured to elevate the target tissue into the chamber in the treatment region relative to surrounding tissue; an energy emitting tool movably coupled to a guidance track so that a distal end of the energy emitting tool is positionable into the chamber and in the treatment region for treating the target tissue; the guidance track operably connected to the handpiece, wherein the guidance track is configured to constrain a portion of the energy emitting tool to move within a predetermined area such that the distal end of the energy emitting tool moves relative to the top within a predetermined shape within the treatment region; and the top has an apposition surface and the target tissue is configured to be elevated into contact with the apposition surface wherein the top comprises a reversible lid for adjusting a depth of the distal end of the energy emitting tool relative to the apposition surface.
