Today’s Patent – Handpiece For Non-Focused Ultrasound Treatment

The said invention (US12179043B2) was invented by Sun Young Kang and patented by USPTO on April 24^th, 2023. Currently, it stands assigned to the Shenb Co Ltd.

The present disclosure pertains to a handpiece designed for non-focused ultrasound treatment. The device includes a housing and a detachable cartridge. The cartridge features an ultrasound generator with a transducer, a skin cooling unit, and an EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) unit that delivers electrical stimulation to the user’s skin.

The skin cooling unit comprises a cooling case and a thermoelectric element that draws heat away from the cooling case. The cooling case includes an opening through which ultrasound waves emitted by the transducer are transmitted. Surrounding this opening is a contact surface that touches the user’s skin to absorb heat. This contact surface creates a cooling barrier beneath the skin in the area where ultrasound waves are delivered, enhancing the treatment’s comfort and effectiveness.
