METHOD FOR COMPLEX COSMETIC TREATMENT OF SURFACE TISSUE OF PATIENT AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC A61N1/06 A61N7/02 A61H7/00 A61H23/00 H01L41/04 H01L41/83 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method for complex cosmetic treatment of the surface tissues of a patient implemented using an apparatus. The treatment surface of the body of the patient is therein exposed to periodically changing vacuum massage using a medical cup (1) while simultaneously exposing the area of treatment to ultrasonic cylindrical standing waves (14) with adjustable amplitude and phase. The standing waves constitute alternating nodes and antinodes of acoustic pressure in a direction parallel to the surface of the body of the patient. The localized area of treatment is simultaneously exposed to a radio-frequency current (15) generated in phase and spatially coinciding with the field of the ultrasonic cylindrical standing wave. The apparatus for complex cosmetic treatment of the surface tissues of the patient is comprised of a medical cup for vacuum massage and an ultrasonic piezoelectric transducer fixed inside the body of the medical cup. The medical cup is made of a polymer material with acoustic impedance close to the acoustic impedance of the surface tissue. The piezoceramic element (5) of the piezoelectric transducer has acoustic contact with the area of treatment of the body of the patient through the wall of the body of the cup. Two radio frequency electrodes are fixed inside the body of the cup. One electrode (10) is shaped as a metal disk and is located in the upper part of the body. The second electrode (8) is shaped as a ring and is located in the lower part of the body at the lower edge of the cup so that during vacuum suction of the area of treatment electrical contact is created between the radio frequency electrodes and the surface of the area of treatment.

EFFECT: increased efficiency and safety of ultrasonic treatment of adipose and cellulite surface tissue of the body of a patient at low intensity levels of ultrasonic vibrations are ensured due to increased ultrasonic and radio frequency heating and spatial localisation of the area of treatment by vacuum suction inside the medical cup.
