Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for the superficial heating of tissue of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 and 11 respectively.
- the skin-tightening effect is explained in that damaged, elastotic skin layers are removed and replaced in the course of the subsequent wound healing by a repair layer with new type I collagen.
- this effect is independent of how the skin has been removed or changed irreversibly; it explains why mechanical dermabrasion, chemical agents or laser-induced ablation are equally effective.
- Resurfacing based on removal of the skin is effective in many cases, but is also associated with negative side effects. The most important are:
- the newly formed skin also shows deviations from the rest of the skin in terms of its structure.
- WO-A-97 37723 a method or a device of the type mentioned at the outset is known, in which or in which the laser wavelength is chosen based on the thickness of the target tissue and the spectral absorption coefficient of this wavelength so that the laser radiation collagen layer m reached the depth of the skin without experiencing any significant absorption in the overlying skin layers.
- the skin surface can be cooled before the laser radiation is applied in order to avoid impairment of the skin surface due to the possible low absorption m of the epidermis.
- the selection of the laser is limited to certain laser wavelengths because of the required high penetration depth m of the tissue.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method or an apparatus of the type mentioned, which or an improved removal of skin damage or
- the heating extends from the surface of the skin in which the absorption takes place, over a greater layer thickness below the surface of the skin, and in a preferred embodiment of the invention, removal in many cases can be completely avoided . In other cases, it may make sense to use a combination of local removal (eg wrinkle combs) and extensive heating
- local removal eg wrinkle combs
- extensive heating The problem previously discussed on the basis of wrinkles applies in a similar way to the treatment of scars. In principle, renewed damage to the skin surface should be minimized here.
- targeted heat-induced shrinkage of (scar) collagen is possible.
- different types of laser light sources can be used as the light source, such as a Ho: YAG, an Er: YAG, an Er: YSGG, a Tm: YAG, a Co 2 laser or an Nd: YAG laser can be used, these are just a few examples.
- the pulse control according to the invention can introduce a considerable amount of energy into the tissue below the skin surface.
- the energy is selected so that there is no removal, but that there is sufficient heating of the deeper collagen layer due to thermal conduction.
- a light pulse sequence is shown in the upper half with preselected energy densities of the individual pulses that the temperature profiles shown in the lower part of the figure on the skin surface or in the tissue layers below the skin surface are at depths of 50 ⁇ m, 100 ⁇ m, 150 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m over time.
- the vertical scale shows the temperature difference ⁇ T in ° K compared to the skin temperature.
- a sequence of laser pulses 1 to 10 is applied to the skin surface in the example shown, the first pulses of the sequence, for example pulses 1 and 2, preferably having a higher energy, energy density or power, but which must be below the removal threshold in order to First the surface of the skin and then, with a time delay, heating the desired underlying tissue layer to the target temperature by heat conduction.
- the temperature rises relatively quickly at this depth and is then kept as uniformly as possible at a desired target temperature difference of 40 ° K, for example.
- the temperature for the curve for a depth of 50 ⁇ m drops somewhat after application of the first three light pulses and is then raised again, for example, to the desired limit temperature by the pulse shown at 4.
- the same also applies to the subsequent pulses 5 to 10, each of which causes reheating to the target temperature.
- the pulses of the pulse sequence following the first pulses can have a lower energy, brought about by a lower power and / or duration, since the energy required to maintain the desired target temperature becomes lower.
- the temperature in the depth of 100 ⁇ m and in the deeper layers of 150 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m increases continuously and approaches a desired one
- the temperature on the surface of the skin and possibly in layers below it can be monitored by a surface temperature sensor, for example, so that the individual pulses can be controlled accordingly, e.g. it is ensured that the specified target temperature e.g. irreversible thermal damage is never exceeded.
- a pulsed laser with constant pulse repetition frequency and pulse energy and pulse energy or, if necessary supported by measurement of the surface temperature of the skin can of course also
- Pulse energy density or pulse power below the ablation threshold are clocked so that comparable temperature increases can be achieved.
- the device according to the invention enables targeted treatment of the skin by appropriately controlling the pulse sequences and the energies of the individual pulses, these energies and pulse durations or pulse intervals being able to be selected according to the desired application.
- the device according to the invention cannot be used solely for the thermal change of collagen fibrils, but can generally serve to cause physiologically specific temperature increases.
- tissue layers under the skin surface should be heated to a temperature of about 43 ° C to 55 ° C. Temperatures in the range of about 55 ° C to 60 ° C and 70 ° C should be used for shrinking collagen without coagulation, and the temperature range 70 ° C to 100 ° C for coagulation.
- the temperature increase should be some 10 ° C.
- the method according to the invention reduces the risk of delaying living tumor cells, bacteria or viruses by the possibility of carrying out coagulation before removal .
- This laser and the pulse train represent only a preferred embodiment without any limitation.
- a laser with a high pulse frequency for example at 50 Hz, which is optionally additionally controlled by a sensor measuring the surface of the skin.
