Treatment systems, methods, and apparatuses for improving the appearance of skin or other target regions are described. Aspects of the technology are directed to improving the appearance of skin by tightening the skin, improving skin tone or texture, eliminating or reducing wrinkles, increasing skin smoothness, or improving the appearance sites with cellulite. Treatments can include cooling a surface of a patient's skin and detecting freezing in the cooled skin. The tissue can be cooled after the freeze event is detected so to maintain the frozen state of the tissue to improve the appearance of the treatment site.

Treatment systems, methods, and apparatuses for improving the appearance of skin or other target regions are described as well as for providing for other treatments. Aspects of the technology are directed to improving the appearance of skin by tightening the skin, improving skin tone or texture, eliminating or reducing wrinkles, increasing skin smoothness, or improving the appearance of cellulite. Treatments can include cooling a surface of a patient's skin and detecting at least one freeze event in the cooled skin. The treatment system can continue cooling the patient's skin after the freeze event(s) are detected so to maintain at least a partially frozen state of the tissue for a period of time.

A system and method of temperature control for a cutaneous and/or muscle surface by direct and/or indirect contact, having temperature control to aid in the recovery of muscle injuries, improvement in recovery after physical exercise, improvement in performance during physical activities, analgesia, provide greater thermal comfort, assist in aesthetic and postoperative procedures, prevention of alopecia among other solutions related to heating/cooling of the cutaneous and/or muscular surface in humans and other animals by means of heat exchange with a fluid, in the fields of medicine and engineering.

Devices for therapeutic interaction with an Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) terminus. Such devices provide heat to or remove heat from the ABTT terminus, and may also provide heat to or remove heat from veins connected to the ABTT. Therapeutic devices for engaging with the ABTT terminus benefit from diagnostics obtained at the ABTT terminus, or from other locations on the body.

A device and method is provided for treating a person by providing controlled stimulation of a branch of the trigeminal nerve of the person to induce a dive reflex response in the person. A device for providing this treatment includes a stimulus component controllably operable to stimulate a branch of the trigeminal nerve of a person. The stimulus component can be a Peltier device configured to reduce the temperature of the person's face in proximity to a branch of the trigeminal nerve to induce the dive reflex. A controller controls activation of the stimulus component when it is desirable to induce the dive reflex response in the person. The controller can sense physiological and ambient conditions and can activate and deactivate the stimulus component in response to a condition falling within or outside a threshold value.

Provided are devices for therapeutic interaction with an Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) terminus. Such devices are configured to provide one or more drugs to an ABTT terminus, and may provide heat to or remove heat from the ABTT terminus while providing the one or more drugs.

A temperature control device for face pads. The temperature control device comprises a Peltier element, at least one receptacle for supporting an eye pad, wherein each of the at least one receptacle is thermally coupled to a warm side or a cold side of the Peltier element, and a fixing device which is thermally decoupled from the Peltier element and which fastens the at least one receptacle to the warm side or the cold side in a form-fitting and/or force-locking manner.

A device comprising a heat-generating component that comprises an alkali metal is provided. The alkali metal in the presence of water at a point of contact of the device undergoes an exothermic reaction to generate heat in situ. The amount of heat generated is proportional to and/or limited by the amount (or moles) of water at the point of contact, and the heat generated is sufficient to achieve an increase in temperature at the point of contact to achieve a therapeutic or beneficial result. In one embodiment, the device is used for reducing sweat production in a subject suffering from excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis. In other embodiments, the device is used to substantially sterilize a surface or render a surface substantially aseptic.

A massage device includes a hot and cold compress member that is connected to a circulating water tank via a connection pipe. An accommodating body is located between a water bag and a main body, and includes a heat conducting member, a cooling member and a heat dissipating member. The circulating water tank is connected to a control body which controls the operation of the heat conducting member, a cooling member. Water circulates through the water bag by a first pipe and a first pump, and the temperature of the water is controlled to provide appropriate temperature to enhance blood circulation of the users. The water bag is fastened to the accommodating body without using screws or bolts to avoid from being rusted and leakage.
