Definitions

• the present invention relates to a multi -function device with applicator element.
• it relates to a device with applicator element that emits waves of various types, device to be used to perform body treatments, both of aesthetic and of medical type. More in particular, this is a device whose applicator element is of the cover plate type and is adapted to be applied to body parts that require treatment with certain types of waves.
• the invention pertains to the field of devices that perform stimulation and toning actions by means of various types of waves, specifically ultrasonic waves, laser radiation and high frequency radio waves, on tissues of the human body, primarily, but not only, to improve the appearance and functionality and to sculpt the shape thereof.
• the device according to the present invention is adapted to be used for aesthetic and medical treatments, aimed at reducing or, according to the case, eliminating the presence of altered and undesirable conditions, such as adipose tissue, water retention, swelling, cellulite and skin blemishes, such as "orange peel skin”.
• this person will often undergo a number of treatments of aesthetic/medical type to deal with these altered conditions equal to the number of aesthetic/medical problems. Therefore, currently this person is treated, even during separate sessions, with dedicated devices, each of which is specific for the treatment of the distinct altered condition or for the type of wave emitted.
• the main limit of devices currently available on the market lies in the fact that the same body part, area or zone of the person must undergo two or more treatments for separate altered conditions at different times. This causes some problems, such as longer treatment times, higher number of sessions, increased costs, etc. Moreover, an aesthetic or medical treatment center that wishes to offer its clients a complete range of these treatments requires to purchase all the relevant specific devices.
• the object of the present invention is to provide a device that overcomes the problems of prior art devices.
• the device according to the present invention allows several treatments to be performed simultaneously on the same body part of the person to be treated if this body area or zone requires treatment with different waves of the type mentioned hereinafter.
• the device of the present invention thus produces the advantage that the person to be treated greatly reduces the time needed to dedicate to the treatment of a single body part with at least one of the aforesaid altered conditions that benefits from treatment with wave types mentioned hereinafter, as said altered condition is simultaneously treated with two or three different methods in order to improve, or eliminate, this altered condition.
• Another advantage offered by the present invention is the fact that treating at least one altered condition simultaneously with two or more different methods can lead to the desired positive aesthetic/medical effects being achieved more rapidly, and can even obtain better results than those achieved with treatments at different times. This may be due to increased adhesion to the treatment plan by the person in treatment and even, in some cases, more timely treatment of the altered condition.
• the device according to the present invention offers the advantage of increasing operating efficiency, in particular use of the structures of the center, such as the workstations (e.g. beds, chairs, etc.), dedicated to these treatments. This also offers the advantage of being able to treat a larger number of people with the same number of opening hours of the center and the same number of workstations.
• Another advantage offered by the present invention is that it requires fewer operations to comply with hygiene standards to clean and disinfect the part of the device that comes into contact with the body of the person to be treated each time this part of the device is positioned on the body of this person. Clearly, the less this part of the device is moved from one person to another, or also from one body part to another body part of the same person, the fewer cleaning and disinfecting operations are required.
