Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for exercising a defined Transdermal pressure on subcutaneous tissue, especially with cellulite skin.
- subcutaneous fat in humans is genetic and hormonal factors as well as depending on the diet. With certain individuals, it comes in particular through the influence of the female estrogen hormone to an excessive level of subcutaneous fat in certain areas of the body, e.g. on the thighs or in the area of the hips.
- the individual hypertrophies Adipose tissue cells. Due to the anatomical arrangement of these adipose tissue cells within bladder-like connective tissue septa immediately below the Skin becomes tense due to the volume increase of the adipose tissue cells this connective tissue septa, causing a balloon-like deformation arises. This causes visible protrusions in the skin level in addition to depression or indentation, similar to the mattress seam. This is commonly referred to as cellulite. She poses is a special form of dystrophy of the subcutaneous tissue and is found particularly in the female gender. The cellulite is not a disease, but a norm variant.
- DE-A-22 41 490 discloses a massage device which is equipped with a nozzle-like Contains apertured wide radiators for supplying a fluid, the massage device being installed, for example, in shower cubicles can be.

- Cosmetic creams or ointments generally only affect those dead top layer of skin, the horny layer. You lead to one here Swelling and can thus contribute to the improvement of the skin surface. Treatment successes are possible if the preparations have different effects Ingredients are included that penetrate the skin completely can and get into the subcutaneous fatty tissue, so that the fat tissue cells according to the principle of action of hormones in metabolism negatively affected and they decrease their volume. The success of treatment therefore only lasts as long as the substance is used. interventions are of this type because of the complex relationships in the bioorganism problematic, provided the active substance via blood or lymphatic system also can affect other organs.
- Treatment attempts using electrical fields are based on the idea that electrolyte shifts the metabolism of a fat cell in the subcutaneous fatty tissue affect negatively and thus to the shrinkage of the cell being able to lead. This has not been scientifically proven. The process continues in Incidentally, at least with an electrode the skin because of their electrical resistance must be perforated. So it's about an invasive procedure. The long-term effect remains highly questionable treatment, provided the electrolyte shift on the fat cell depends on metabolic processes aims.
- Liposuction with fine cannulas immediately subdermal is an effective one Means to mechanically destroy adipose tissue cells in the subcutaneous fatty tissue and to convey their contents to the body surface by negative pressure. Aside from a cut in the skin, immediately beneath the Leather skin a large wound area. Through the healing that begins in the following experience has shown that contraction of the scar tissue is permanent smooth skin surface, which is the goal of the treatment.
- the disadvantage is however, the surgical invasive nature of the method, which is very high equipment, personnel and hygienic requirements. These processes are therefore associated with high costs.
- ultrasound especially with pulse frequencies greater than 20 kHz, because of the increasing heat development and insufficient depth of penetration not suitable for the cosmetic treatment of cellulite skin due to the skin.
- An object of the invention is therefore a cosmetic treatment that is the same How effective liposuction is, but not invasive and on the part of personnel, equipment and hygienic effort is much easier to do.
- Another object of the invention is therefore to describe conditions which leads to a limited change in adipose tissue structures immediately lead under the dermis without damaging the skin, the connective tissue septa and the blood and lymphatic vessels appear in the subcutaneous fat.
- the aim of the invention is to change the Subcutaneous fat cells are randomized to a limited extent, so that the formation of so-called oil cysts does not occur.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a Device for the permanent elimination of hypertrophied cells of the Subcutaneous fat allows for non-invasive skin injury or at least permanently reduced with the expression of cellulite can.
- a device for exerting a defined pressure transdermally on subcutaneous tissue in particular in the case of cellulite skin, which is characterized in that it is set up to generate a steel pressure in the range from 10 to 30 kg / cm 2 of skin area, for example 20 bar, so that no mechanical contact between the device and the skin is necessary and which has at least one nozzle for a fluid medium.
- the device according to the invention it is surprisingly possible generate a transdermal pressure sufficient to subcutaneous tissue areal randomized damage without causing unwanted damage the skin, connective tissue septa and blood and lymphatic vessels occur in the subcutaneous fatty tissue.
- the functionality of the invention Device is also no mechanical contact between the device and the skin, so that additional aids such as Lubricants are not required. This will handle the device further simplified.
- the device also enables a limited change in the subcutaneous tissue. This can prevent the formation of oil cysts so that it is not too when using the device according to the invention cosmetically disfiguring tumors or skin thickening.
- the beam width is and / or the Adjustable jet pressure of the device. This makes it possible to apply transdermal pressure and thus the extent of the change in the subcutaneous tissue as desired individually to the respective needs adapt. This allows the operation of the device according to the invention can be further optimized.
