Abstract:
1. A tissue treatment system, comprising: a handpiece having a tissue engaging structure having an apposition surface and a perimeter wall defining a chamber which defines a treatment region in which target tissue may be positioned, the perimeter wall having a conduit defining an opening configured to provide access to the treatment region, a seal disposed within the conduit, a vacuum source configured for application to the tissue engaging structure to elevate the target tissue in the treatment region relative to the surrounding tissue; a tool configured to be movably coupled to the handpiece through the opening so that a distal end of the tool is positionable in the treatment region for treating target tissue; and a guidance track operably connectable to the handpiece and the tool, wherein the guidance track is configured to constrain a portion of the tool to move longitudinally and laterally within a predetermined path of the guidance track such that a portion of the tool pivots about the opening and the distal end of the tool moves within a subcutaneous region of the target tissue in a predetermined shape within the treatment region defined by the predetermined path.
