A self-contained, hyperthermic conditioning unit and selectively controllable environment for exercising. The unit comprises a base portion having a bed therein and a removable cover connected to the base portion to enclose a personal compartment within the unit. One or more heating elements provide heat to the personal compartment and one more pieces of physical exercise equipment are provided within the personal compartment.

The invention relates to a device for hyperthermic treatment of itching, for example following insect bites, wherein during the treatment a treatment surface is regulated at a temperature of preferably between 42° C. and 56° C. for a period of 2 sec to 12 sec and a hardware-implemented temperature monitor limits the maximum temperature of the treatment surface and a safety fuse shuts off the device in the case of a short-circuit or uncontrolled continuous heating.

An apparatus for treatment of a skin of a subject is provided. The apparatus comprises a base, an applicator head which is rotatably mounted with respect to the base around an axis of rotation, and defines a cavity for receiving a portion of the skin of the subject, a drive for rotating the applicator head, and a pump for reducing a pressure in the cavity for sucking the portion of the skin of the subject into the cavity. The applicator head further comprises one or more electrodes, and the apparatus further comprises one or more electrical power sources and a control system for controlling electrical energy supply to the electrodes. A cross-section of the cavity with a plane comprising the axis of rotation is non-constant in rotation. Also disclosed are methods for treatment of the skin.

A cooling device for removing heat from subcutaneous lipid-rich cells of a subject having skin is provided. The cooling device includes a plurality of cooling elements movable relative to each other to conform to the contour's of the subject's skin. The cooling elements have a plurality of controllable thermoelectric coolers. The cooling elements can be controlled to provide a time-varying cooling profile in a predetermined sequence, can be controlled to provide a spatial cooling profile in a selected pattern, or can be adjusted to maintain constant process parameters, or can be controlled to provide a combination thereof.

Present disclosure provides a cooling device with safety features and methods for controlling temperature of the cooling device for safe cooling of target surface.

Applicator (3) for cold treatment, comprising an applicator housing (5) with an inlet opening (18) and a leak tight tip (23). The applicator housing (5) encloses a channel body (20) extending between the inlet opening (18) and the leak tight tip (23). The applicator (3) is mounted or mountable in a releasable manner onto a pressurized dispenser (2) comprising a nozzle (7), such that the inlet opening (18) is in fluid communication with the nozzle (7). The applicator housing (5) is moveable between a rest position and a pressed position to activate the nozzle (7). The applicator housing (5) has release openings (26) which are closed in the pressed position.

A method for treating skin, including: delivering one or more pulses of non-converging ultrasonic energy through a surface area size in a range of 3 mm.sup.2-7 mm.sup.2, wherein each pulse having an intensity in a range of 5 W/cm.sup.2-60 W/cm.sup.2 and a time duration in which the ultrasonic energy is actively transmitted in a range of 1-10 seconds per pulse, wherein the non-converging ultrasonic energy is delivered from a fixed position to one or more skin regions having a maximal surface area size in a range of 5 cm.sup.2-100 cm.sup.2.

A cooling device for removing heat from subcutaneous lipid-rich cells of a subject having skin is provided. The cooling device includes a plurality of cooling elements movable relative to each other to conform to the contour's of the subject's skin. The cooling elements have a plurality of controllable thermoelectric coolers. The cooling elements can be controlled to provide a time-varying cooling profile in a predetermined sequence, can be controlled to provide a spatial cooling profile in a selected pattern, or can be adjusted to maintain constant process parameters, or can be controlled to provide a combination thereof.

A needle warming system includes: a heating tube for heating acupuncture needles; a ring-shaped rechargeable battery for supplying power to the heating tube, and a empty space for fixing the heating tube for charging The battery accepts the charging of the wireless charging unit in a wireless charging mode; a display unit is used to display the working status and charging status of the needle warming system; the control unit is used to control the temperature of the heating tube, and the charging of the rechargeable battery, and display unit. The wireless rechargeable battery avoids the external power supply and the traditional power wiring obstacles; the creation of empty space in the center with ring-shaped rechargeable batteries and heating pads, medicine pads, etc., allows acupuncture needles to enter the heating tube, which is convenient for the implementation of acupuncture warming needles technique. Moreover, the whole needle warming system is compact, small and portable.

The present disclosure provides a device and a method for cooling living tissues for a medical purpose and other purposes. The cooling device comprises: a container configured to accommodate a cooling medium and thermally coupled with the cooling medium by directly contacting the cooling medium; a cooling generator configured to be thermally coupled with the container by a direct contact and thereby to provide cooling energy to the cooling medium; and a heat sink dissipating heat from the cooling generator, the heat sing being configured to be spaced apart from the cooling generator and to be thermally coupled with the cooling generator without a direct contact with the cooling generator.
