Claim Text:
1. A system for minimally invasive skin treatment, comprising: a platform having a top and a perimeter wall downwardly extending from an outer perimeter of the top, the top and the perimeter wall cooperatively defining a recessed area on an underside of the platform, an inner side of the perimeter wall and a bottom surface of the top defining an apposition surface facing into the recessed area, wherein the platform is configured to allow tissue in need of treatment to be elevated into the recessed area and into contact with the apposition surface; one or more injection ports positioned on the platform, each injection port of the one or more injection ports positioned about a corresponding entry hole through the top of the platform; and an injection device having a needle, a base and an upper body, the injection device being configured to be removably secured perpendicular to the platform, wherein the injection device is configured to allow the needle to be slidably disposed from a position outside of the recessed area and into the selected injection port such that a distal end of the needle passes through the corresponding entry hole into the recessed area and into a subcutaneous region of the tissue positioned in contact with the apposition surface; a vacuum fitting configured for fluid coupling to a vacuum pump; wherein the vacuum pump is configured to supply a suction force to the recessed area to allow the tissue in need of treatment to be positioned against the apposition surface when the recessed area is placed over the tissue; and wherein the distal end of the needle has a nozzle configured to discharge a fluid in a direction orthogonal to an axis of the needle and parallel to the top of the platform.
