Abstract

"MéTODO E APARELHO PARA TRATAMENTO DE CARACTERìSTICAS HISTOLóGICAS SUBCUTâNEAS". Um sistema 10 e método para tratamento de características subcutâneas histológicas sem afetar tecidos adjacentes empregando de uma forma adversa a energia de microonda com uma potência, frequência e duração selecionadas para penetrar tecido subcutâneo e áreas de características alvo com doses ótimas para afetar permanentemente características indesejáveis. A energia de microonda é gerada por meio de uma combinação de sintetizador de frequência variável 14 e um sistema de tubo de onda navegante 12 tendo uma potência interna e um amplificador de saída de energia alta. A frequência escolhida preferencialmente interage com o alvo à medida que torna-se oposto ao tecido adjacente, e a energia de microonda é distribuída à medida que um curto pulso causa um desconforto mínimo e efeitos laterais. Através de uma distribuição de energia de microonda na pele sobre uma área e de um ajuste de potência e frequência, condições diferentes, tais como hirsutismo e telangiectasia, podem ser efetivamente tratadas.
