Abstract

See full text

An handpiece including an ultrasound transducer is used for dermatological applications such as skin tightening or hair removal. The handpiece is configured to monitor whether a bone of the patient underlies the ultrasound transducer. In a preferred embodiment, the transducer generates a sounding pulse. The reflection of the pulse off the bone is measured. In response to the detection of the bone, the treatment can be modified or halted to protect the bone.
