Treatment of tissue by the application of energy

This invention describes a device that treats skin by applying electrical pulses through a pattern of electrodes. The device can rotate or switch the active electrodes in the pattern partway through the treatment. The goal is to remove specific skin cells without causing inflammation or damaging underlying tissue.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of low-cost, high-precision embedded control systems. These advances make managing complex electrode arrays for selective cell targeting more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom electrodes, pulse generator, control circuitry
