ABSTRACT:
A noninvasive skin-tightening device and method are provided wherein a target line or wrinkle is selected that the patient wishes to minimize or eradicate. The tool has a handle having a proximal end for grasping and a distal end, to which are affixed a plurality of generally parallel spaced-apart blade elements that are oriented generally parallel to the handle. In use a pair of pluralities of lines are scratched in the skin parallel to and one on each side of the target line using the device. The post-treatment steps include cleaning the scratches with antibacterial soap, drying the area, and massaging with antibacterial topical cream. Once the lines scratched in the skin are permitted to heal, the skin is found to be tightened.
