Device Purpose

• Next generation RF powered surgical aesthetic treatment

Device Features

• New aesthetic surgical procedure based on existing treatment

  • Specific use information under NDA   

• New procedure and accompanying hand piece allows treatment at 2x traditional speed

• Fractionated RF power algorithms allow close loop control of RF and automatically adjustable and patient specific treatment

My key contributions

• Team guidance and individual contribution of both mechanical and electrical development of new hand piece

  • R&D bench testing of analog tissue flow, electrical/plasma effects, impedance characteristics

  • Industrial design, usability, heat mitigation scheme, design for manufacturing input

  • Fractionated RF power algorithm development, close loop impedance logic and system limitation management

• Leadership of engineering test strategy and testing of all prototype devices on human tissue in both in-vivo and ex-vivo

  • Iterative testing on over 100 prototypes with surgical key opinion leaders. Directed team compiling data and making design changes

  • Tissue affects due to heat, plasma, RF energy, etc
