20220354732 · 2022-11-10 ·

A rejuvenating beauty care tool for skin and body is an apparatus that enables the user to treat different skin and body areas using different therapeutic and cosmetic techniques. The apparatus may include a handle, a first arm, a second arm, a plurality of first rollers, and a plurality of second rollers. The handle enables the user to comfortably operate the apparatus using only one hand. The handle also supports the first arm and the second arm when the first arm and the second arm are pressed against the user's body. The first arm presses the plurality of first rollers against a first target body area. Likewise, the second arm presses the plurality of second rollers against a second target body area. Further, both the plurality of first rollers and the plurality of second rollers enable the application of the desired cosmetic or therapeutic treatment onto the target body areas.

A skin treatment apparatus, such as a microdermabrasion or dermaplaning apparatus, includes a housing having a top end and a bottom end, a treatment head attached to the top end of the housing and arranged to exfoliate skin within a treatment area, and a cooling member provided on the bottom end of the housing arranged to cool skin within the treatment area.

Vibration device

Methods and systems for providing distributed vibration therapy. The vibration device includes a plurality of vibration motors that are located along a grid. The vibration motors are embedded on a basal pad. A primary diffuser overlays the embedded the vibration motors. The device is portable and can be adaptable to a target body part.

MULTI-MODAL THERMAL THERAPY FOR BLEPHARITIS, MEIBOMIAN GLAND DYSFUNCTION AND DRY EYE SYNDROME
20230100143 · 2023-03-30 ·

Methods for treating Blepharitis, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Dry Eye Syndrome include thermal massage, thermal debridement, and thermal expression. Particular embodiments include use of handheld devices that provide the thermal therapy to tissue by contacting a surface heated with thermal energy to a patient's tissue. Thermal energy can be continuously provided during operation. In particular embodiments, a handheld device comprises a base assembly operatively connected to a removeable thermal energy applicator. A wide range of thermal applicators may be connected to the base assembly to provide different treatments, including heat application, debridement, and expression of the treated tissue or gland.

Temperature controlled and vibrating therapeutic garment

A temperature controllable wrap assembly that includes a wrap portion configured to be worn around a user's body part, and at least a first temperature control module positioned on the wrap portion. The first temperature control module includes a housing, a controllable temperature element, a spreader member and at least a first finger spreader pivotably attached to the spreader member. The lower surface of the spreader member is positioned to contact the user's body part. The controllable temperature element is configured to transfer thermal energy to an upper surface of the spreader member, and the spreader member is configured to conduct thermal energy to the first finger spreader.

HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM FOR PATIENT SUPPORT SURFACE

A heat exchange system includes a thermoelectric device operably coupled with a support apparatus. The thermoelectric device is configured to reduce a temperature at a first location and increase a temperature at a second location different than the first location. A fan is disposed adjacent to the thermoelectric device. The fan is configured to direct heat generated by the thermoelectric device toward the second location. A controller is communicatively coupled with the thermoelectric device and the fan. The controller is configured to activate the thermoelectric device and the fan to reduce the temperature at the first location and concurrently increase the temperature at the second location. The first location is configured to align with a first area on a patient and the second location is configured to align with a second area on the patient.

DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING THE SKIN
20230033761 · 2023-02-02 ·

According to some embodiments, a method of treating a skin surface of a subject comprises heating a skin surface, abrading native skin tissue of a subject using a microdermabrasion device, wherein using the microdermabrasion device comprises moving the microdermabrasion device relative to the skin surface while simultaneously delivering at least one treatment fluid to the skin surface being treated and cooling the abraded skin surface.

TRANSCUTANEOUS TREATMENT SYSTEMS, COOLING DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR COOLING NERVES
20230092212 · 2023-03-23 ·

Treatment systems, methods, and apparatuses for improving the appearance of skin and other treatments are described. Aspects of the technology are directed to improving the appearance of skin by transcutaneously cooling and affecting nerve tissue so as to inhibit facial muscular contractions and thereby reduce dynamic wrinkling. A non-invasive nerve cooling device can be applied to the subject's head to attenuate nervous system signals to facial muscles.

Optimized Water Channels and Flexible Coolers For Use In heat Exchange Module(s), Systems, and Methods Thereof
20230093710 · 2023-03-23 ·

Optimized fluid channels, flexible thermoelectric electric coolers (“TECs”), and fixed frame therapeutic stations along with methods of making the same are disclosed herein. Consequently, the optimized fluid channels provide an improved HEM whereby the fluid seal is more secure, and the manufacturing is more easily completed. Moreover, the flexible TECs provide a more conformed design to the end user and allow for more focused and efficient heat transfer. Finally, the fixed frame therapeutic station(s) provide for a fixed frame which allows differential heating and cooling on the glabrous skin areas of a human to provide additive benefits during heating and cooling therapeutic regimes.
