Device Purpose

• Used for removing skin cores and reducing appearance of wrinkles on skin

Device Features

• Independent XY and Z needle control

  • PID control of needle motion and skin entry velocity

• Click on disposable with vacuum frame for holding skin during treatment

• Needle hub with vacuum clearing of skin cores

• Cleanable hand piece with minimal seams and screw caps

• Device currently on the market

My key contributions

• Full mechanical design (from prototype to manufacturing) of hand piece including internal mechanisms and integration into outside shape from industrial designers

  • Fully custom XYZ stage

  • Integration of PCBs and collaboration with EE team for optimal design

  • Shell topology: clamshell split, IP22 sealing, EMI shielding, press fit screw caps, LED illumination, cabling strain relief, industrial design tweaks for assembly feasibility 

• DFM of outer shell (injection molding) and disposable parts

• Led development of disposables technology (needle hub and vacuum frame)

  • Vacuum flow analysis

  • Disposable usability and efficacy
