Definitions
- This invention relates to the delivery of a needle through the epidermis and into the dermis.
- Collagen growth is stimulated by injury to the skin.
- Uncontrolled injury of the dermis can trigger collagen over stimulation and create scar tissue and keloids.
- Controlled micro-injury to the dermis causes collagen to be produced in a relatively controlled manner to restore elasticity to older skin. Additionally, in the cases of scar tissue and keloids micro-injury can cause remodeling of the tissue to reduce the overall appearance of the scar.
- the global demand for medical aesthetic devices has been estimated to be 4.8 billion dollars.
- the growth for medical aesthetic devices is expected to grow 12.2% year over year through at least 2018.
- Non-linear optical microscopy is becoming popular as a non-invasive in vivo imaging modality in dermatology.
- combined TPF and SHG microscopy were used to monitor collagen remodelling in vivo after micro-ablative fractional laser resurfacing.
- Papillary dermis of living subjects, covering a wide age range, was imaged immediately before and forty days after treatment.
- a qualitative visual examination of acquired images demonstrated an age-dependent remodelling effect on collagen.
- Additional quantitative analysis of new collagen production was performed by means of two image analysis methods. A higher increase in SHG to TPF ratio, corresponding to a stronger treatment effectiveness, was found in older subjects, whereas the effect was found to be negligible in young, and minimal in middle age subjects.
- MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 16 patients with atrophic facial post varicella scars were treated by focal application of 100% TCA solution by pressing down upon the scar surface by a toothpick (CROSS technique). Total 4 sittings were given at 2 weekly intervals and the results evaluated after 3 months of follow-up. Statistical analysis was carried out using Fischer's exact t-test.
- PDL pulsed dye laser
- METHODS A literature -based study has been conducted, including the review of publications over the period January 1995 to December 2006, using the Medline Database. We also included our own experience in managing non-vascular lesions with the PDL. Four sets of preoperative and postoperative photos are presented.
- the wavelength of 585nm corresponds to an absorption peak of haemoglobin.
- the heating effect in these skin layers triggers the release of various growth factors that stimulate collagen remodelling and tightening.
- double flashlamp excited pumped dye laser was used (ED2000, Deka MELA, Calenzano, Italy), spot size 5 mm, energy density (fluence J/cm(2)) from 2 to 4 J/cm(2), emission modality (repetition rate) at 0.5 Hz, with a short pulse duration of 250 microsec.
- the efficiency of 585 nm collagen remodelling pulsed dye laser is controversial in only one session.
- the 585 nm collagen remodelling pulsed dye laser has limited efficacy for the treatment of port wine stains. However, it may offer patients with erythematous, raised or hypertrophic acne scars or striae distensae a permanent cosmetic solution. This laser is safe and effective in the treatment of surgical scars starting as soon as possible, on the day of suture removal if possible. We found that 96.3% of molluscum contagiosum healed after the first treatment, the other 3.7% after the second.
- the histology showed good dermal collagen remodelling in all cases, with a reduction in elastosis.
- the results of IPL photoreju venation can be enhanced, as our trials showed.
- the good patient satisfaction obtained was clearly demonstrated in the histologies and evaluations throughout the study.

- Fig. 4B shows a cut away of the preferred embodiment of a battery recharging cradle.
- FIG. 1 an exploded view of the upper end of the pen system is comprised of the following parts:
- the DC Motor 15 (Fig. 1) provides rotational movement to the lower end disposable needle module 200 (Fig. 2).
- the upper end 100 of Fig. 1 is completely sealed from the lower end disposable needle module 200.
- Figures 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present invention of the lower end disposable needle module 200. Corresponding Part Numbers are as follows:
- the general mechanism for moving the needles 15 employs a yoke 2 and a bell crank 6 with slotted ends to drive a connecting rod 7.
- the needles 15 are embedded in needle cup 13.
- a bellow 17 keeps the disposable lower end needle module 200 sealed away from action of the connecting rod 7.
- the action of the connecting rod 7 is coupled to needle cup 13 that reciprocates up and down so needles 15 can penetrate the skin.
- Detents 12 in the depth cup 16 allow a user to feel a click in resistance and adjust the depth that the needles 15 will move from 0.0 to 2.5 mm.
- To engage the disposable lower end needle module 200 to the pen upper end 100 they are pushed axially together and then twisted to lock in place.
- a recharging cradle 300 is disclosed to safely hold and charge the pen upper end 100 battery 16 (Fig. 1) comprising the following:
- the battery 16 (Fig. 1) is sealed inside the upper end 100.
- the PCBA Assem 18 (Fig. l) is in close proximity to PCBA cable subasm 10 (Fig. 4, 4A) so that when current is applied the battery 16 can be charged through inductive charging.
- This is a safety feature because neither the recharging cradle 300 nor the upper end 200 are opened up and plugged in to each other.
- the upper end 100 and recharging cradle 300 can be easily cleaned with ethanol wipes between charging or sterilized by other chemical treatment.
- the cradle is designed to safely hold the pen upper end 100 during charging and storage.
- a collagen stimulating device which utilizes a single handed operable needle module connection system, including needle(s) 15 which insert into the dermis layer of the skin to allow for stimulation of collagen growth.
- the collagen stimulating device in the form of a reciprocating shaft device, consists of an upper end 100 and a lower end disposable needle module 200.
- the upper end 100 is a durable assembly; while the lower end disposable needle module 200 is disposable.
- Inside the lower end disposable needle module 200 is a needle cup 13. When the needle cup 13 is extended, the needle(s) 15 will protrude from the lower end disposable needle module 200 by the reciprocating connecting rod 7.
- the lower end disposable needle module 200 will allow for increased safety, through a lowered chance of cross- contamination and single use application.
- the lower end disposable needle module 200 is where the reciprocating connecting rod 7 is applied to a workpiece, as for example, when used, a needle is applied to the skin of the recipient (not shown).
- the upper end 100 is the opposite end from the lower end disposable needle module 200 reciprocating connecting rod 7.
- a shaft assembly Concentrically within the reciprocating shaft device is a shaft assembly which has a circular cross section.
- the shaft assembly has two sections, namely an upper section, and a lower section.
- the upper section is located toward the upper end of the reciprocating shaft device and the lower section is located toward the lower end of the reciprocating shaft device.
- the lower section of the shaft assembly contains needles which when the shaft assembly is released may pierce the epidermal layer of human skin, thereby stimulating the release of collagen.
- the needle(s) 15 may be injected into the skin, by way of numerous embodiments, which shall be detailed, hereinafter.
- a coil assembly is mounted symmetrically about the shaft assembly toward the upper end of the reciprocating shaft device.
- the coil assembly includes a spring located within an inner housing.
- the coil encases nearly all of the upper section of the shaft assembly and a small part of the lower section of the shaft assembly adjacent to the upper section.
- the needle(s) 15 on the shaft assembly may either be in rows, or concentric circles or overlapping to create uniform stimulation of the skin.
- the lower end disposable needle module 200 converts the rotary motion from the upper end 100 into reciprocating motion for the movement of needles 15 that create micro-channels in the skin.
- This mechanical injury of the skin prompts the skin to heal itself and generate collagen, etc.
- This mechanism employs a scotch yoke 2 and a bell crank 6 with slotted ends to drive a connecting rod 7.
- the motion is 2.75 mm total translation per cycle. This allows a needle cup 13 to create 1400 holes per second at a speed of 7000 rpm.
- the motor 15 (Fig. 1) is capable of oscillating needle(s) 15 (Fig. 2A,2B,3A,3B) at between 1000-10,000 rpm.
- More needle(s) 15 and/or increased speed will permit the generation of more micro-channels per second. Other forms of translating rotation into reciprocation may be used.
- This novel feature makes the pen more reliable and also prevents other disposables from interacting with the upper end.
- the coupling 3 rotates and drives the eccentric roller 4. This action causes the yoke 2 to oscillate back and forth in a linear motion.
- the bell crank 6 multiplies this motion and redirects motion to oscillate the connecting rod 7, which is coupled to the needle cup 13, needle core 14 and needle(s) 15. So the needle(s) reciprocate in and out of the depth cup 16 and may penetrate the patient's skin when the depth cup 16 is adjusted to expose the needles 15.
- Dowel pins 5, 19, 20 facilitate the conversion of rotary motion to linear reciprocation motion.
- the high speed movement of the yoke 2 and roller 4 against the housing left 8 and housing right 1 is facilitated by the presence of lubricant silicone fluid 18.
- this arrangement ensures the needle(s) 15 can only be set to penetrate the skin by a maximum of 2.5 mm. Furthermore, when the pen tip 1 (Fig.1) is inserted into the bayonet cup 11 is pushed along a locking spring 9 and into the lower end disposable needle module 200. This action loads the locking spring 9 and upon removal of the lower end disposable needle module 200, the locking spring 9 is free to bend upwards and block the re- insertion of the lower end disposable needle module 200. This makes the lower end disposable needle module 200 a single use device.
- the depth adjustment for the needle(s) 15 is located on the lower end disposable needle module 200 - not on the upper end 100.
- This means the depth cup 16 can be turned from its initial position of 0 depth through 11 distinct depth settings, each 0.25 mm deeper, until it reaches a limit of 2.5 mm.
- the detent 12 gives sensory feedback to the user and effectively locks the position, detent 12 also interferes with the depth cup 16 at the 0 mm depth to prevent any further depth inward setting less than 0.0mm.
- the depth cup 16 back element prevents adjusting the depth greater than 2.5 mm.
- the depth cup 16 has markings and numbers to identify the depth setting. Adjustment of the depth on the lower end disposable needle module 200 instead of the upper end 100 means only one hand of the user is contaminated. The other hand is on a protective sheath over the upper end 100.
- the user may twist the depth cup 16 relative to the bayonet cup 11 to reveal more of the needle(s) 15 length.
- This depth adjustment is facilitated by three items.
- First the depth cup 16 may not be adjusted below zero (0) where the depth cup 16 is trapped by the retention feature on the housing left 8. Also the depth cup 16 may not go above the highest setting of 2.5 where the depth cup 16 stops turning against the bayonet cup 11.
- the depth cup 16 has slots that engage the flexible detent 12 to enable intermediate depth settings.
- the thread pitch of the depth cup 16 is such that axial force on the tip is not great enough to cause rotation of the depth cup 16 and alter the setting.
- the lower end disposable needle module 200 has a tight fitting bellows 17 that is sealed around connecting rod 7.
- the inner cup back (16) is effectively sealed against the pen bayonet lock.
- the pen has an integral rotary seal (15) that serves as an extra barrier during treatment, but the primary barrier when the disposable lower end is removed and the pen is still present in the treatment arena.
- the inner cup back element (16) has a raised feature to capture the protective sheath and the protective sheath keeps the pen contaminant free during use.
- the bellows 17 prevent migration of gels used during treatment to the mechanism and also prevents migration of blood to the pen.
- the presence of glue 21 aids in securing the needles 15 to the needle core 14 to avoid any needles being retained in the patient's skin during treatment.
- Alternative embodiments may include differing needle shapes, such as a star or x- shape reduce the cross- section of the needle point over a certain depth of penetration into the dermis.
- a further alternative embodiment may include a drug delivery system, in the form of an internal reservoir or an attached cartridge, along with a hypodermic needle from which to inject a drug or skin formulation.
- the device contains a depth sensor and alarm to notify a user when the needle(s) have reached the appropriate depth.
- the device contains an actuator to control the speed, depth and dwell time of needle penetration.
- the device will contain a processor and communication module, such as a Wi- Fi, radio, or blue tooth transmitter, allowing one- or two- way transmission of data to a software application for data analysis, and prescription purposes; dosage, time, depth depending on the medication, tracking.
- a processor and communication module such as a Wi- Fi, radio, or blue tooth transmitter, allowing one- or two- way transmission of data to a software application for data analysis, and prescription purposes; dosage, time, depth depending on the medication, tracking.
