Jun 9, 2005
Appl. No.:
29/231841
Inventors:
Robert E. Grove - Pleasanton CA, US
Tobin C. Island - Oakland CA, US
Mark V. Weckwerth - Pleasanton CA, US
Neil Goldberg - Berkeley CA, US
Steven Nersesian - San Francisco CA, US
Assignee:
SpectraGenics, Inc. - Pleasanton CA

Self-Contained, Eye-Safe Hair-Regrowth-Inhibition Apparatus And Method

View page
US Patent:
7250045, Jul 31, 2007
Filed:
Feb 19, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/783880
Inventors:
Tobin C. Island - Oakland CA, US
Robert E. Grove - Pleasanton CA, US
Mark V. Weckwerth - Pleasanton CA, US
Assignee:
SpectraGenics, Inc. - Pleasanton CA
International Classification:
A61B 18/20
US Classification:
606 17, 606 9
Abstract:
A dermatologic hair-regrowth-inhibiting apparatus is disclosed which is cordless and sufficiently compact as to be hand-held. A self-contained housing is configured for gripping by a person's hand for cordless manipulation in a hair-regrowth-inhibiting procedure. A light source and electrical circuit are contained within the housing. The circuit includes one or more batteries for energizing the light source to produce output light pulses. A light path within the housing includes an aperture through which eye-safe light pulses are propagated out of the housing having properties sufficient for at least temporary hair-regrowth inhibition. A diffuser is disposed along the light path to reduce the integrated radiance to an eye-safe level.

Optical Sensor And Method For Identifying The Presence Of Skin

View page
US Patent:
7413567, Aug 19, 2008
Filed:
Feb 25, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/787720
Inventors:
Mark V. Weckwerth - Pleasanton CA, US
Tobin C. Island - Oakland CA, US
Robert E. Grove - Pleasanton CA, US
Assignee:
SpectraGenics, Inc. - Pleasanton CA
International Classification:
A61B 18/18
US Classification:
606 10, 606 9, 606 12, 607 88
Abstract:
A sensor for detecting the presence of skin is disclosed, one configuration of which uses multiple light emitting diodes, each of a unique wavelength band, and a broad-band photodetector to measure the remission of light at multiple wavelengths from a material being analyzed. Characteristics of the spectral remission of the material are used to discriminate human skin from materials that are not human skin. Further, an aesthetic medical device utilizing such a sensor in which the device is inhibited from operation if skin has not been detected. The incorporation of a skin sensor improves the safety of devices that emit radiation that otherwise would pose a hazard if not directed onto skin.

Eye-Safe Dermatologic Treatment Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
7452356, Nov 18, 2008
Filed:
Feb 19, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/783603
Inventors:
Robert E. Grove - Pleasanton CA, US
Mark V. Weckwerth - Pleasanton CA, US
Tobin C. Island - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:
Tria Beauty, Inc. - Pleasanton CA
International Classification:
A61B 18/20
US Classification:
606 9, 606 10
Abstract:
A dermatologic treatment apparatus is disclosed which includes one or more housings with at least one housing configured for manipulation in a dermatologic treatment procedure, a light source, and an electrical circuit. The circuit energizes the light source to produce output light pulses. A light path includes an aperture through which eye-safe light pulses are propagated having properties sufficient for providing efficacious treatment. An optical diffuser is disposed along the light path to reduce the integrated radiance to an eye-safe level. The apparatus produces an output fluence not less than 4 J/cm.

Method And Apparatus For The Treatment Of Benign Pigmented Lesions

View page
US Patent:
7981111, Jul 19, 2011
Filed:
Feb 25, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/787969
Inventors:
Robert E. Grove - Pleasanton CA, US
Mark V. Weckwerth - Pleasanton CA, US
Tobin C. Island - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:
Tria Beauty, Inc. - Dublin CA
International Classification:
A61B 18/08
US Classification:
606 27, 607 96
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method which employs an energy source, one or more switches, electronic control circuitry, and a surface that can be placed in contact with a region of a person's skin containing a benign pigmented lesion. Within the apparatus, electrical current is passed through a heating element that is thermally coupled to the surface so that this surface is heated rapidly and then is subsequently cooled rapidly. By judicious choice of the rate of heating, maximum temperatures achieved, and rate of cooling, thermal injury to the skin can be confined primarily to the epidermal region of the skin in contact with the surface.

Phototherapy Device Thermal Control Apparatus And Method

View page
US Patent:
8518027, Aug 27, 2013
Filed:
Oct 28, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/607280
Inventors:
Mark V. Weckwerth - Pleasanton CA, US
Charles A. Schuetz - Oakland CA, US
Harvey I. Liu - Fremont CA, US
Patrick Reichert - Dublin CA, US
Tobin C. Island - Oakland CA, US
Robert E. Grove - Pleasanton CA, US
Assignee:
Tria Beauty, Inc. - Dublin CA
International Classification:
A61B 18/18
A61N 5/06
US Classification:
606 2, 606 3, 606 4, 606 5, 606 6, 606 7, 606 8, 606 9, 606 10, 607 88, 607 89, 607 90, 607 91, 607 92, 607 93, 607 94, 128898
Abstract:
A phototherapy device includes a light source; a light emanation block; and a heat exchanger for the dissipation of heat from one or more heat loads associated with the device. Heat may be transferred via the heat exchanger from the light source independently of the dissipation of heat from one or more of the other device heat loads. Substantially thermally isolated heat transfer regions may be provided, and such regions may be maintained at different operating temperatures, to control the transfer of heat in conjunction with a phototherapy method and to promote efficient and enhanced device operation and performance.
