INTEGRATED HEATER ON FACIAL SKINCARE MASK
A package comprises a mask; and an inactive heater, wherein the mask includes at least one product layer having infused thereon at least one active, and wherein the inactive heater is located in or in proximity to the mask to transfer heat to the mask upon activation of the heater.
CRYOTHERAPY DRESSING SYSTEM
A dressing system for cooling skin or a wound site on a subject comprises a dressing having a reservoir for holding a liquid. The dressing may be configured for placement proximate to a postoperative surgical wound site of the subject or on the facial area of the subject. The dressing system includes a cooling chamber external to the dressing configured to cool the liquid. The dressing system includes a pump configured to circulate the liquid between the cooling chamber and the reservoir. The dressing system may include a suction element for applying suction at, or proximate to, the dressing for removing sweat or wound drainage.
TREATMENT SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR IMPROVING THE APPEARANCE OF SKIN AND PROVIDING OTHER TREATMENTS
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.
MEDICAL DEVICES FOR GENERATING HEAT AND METHODS OF TREATMENT USING SAME
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.
Compositions, treatment systems and methods for improved cooling of lipid-rich tissue
Compositions and formulations for use with devices and systems that enable tissue cooling, such as cryotherapy applications, for alteration and reduction of adipose tissue are described. Aspects of the technology are further directed to methods, compositions and devices that provide protection of non-targeted cells (e.g., non-lipid-rich cells) from freeze damage during dermatological and related aesthetic procedures that require sustained exposure to cold temperatures. Further aspects of the technology include systems for enhancing sustained and/or replenishing release of cryoprotectant to a treatment site prior to and during cooling applications.
Sleep Mask Assembly
A sleep mask assembly includes a mask that is worn on a user's face when the user is sleeping. The mask has a compartment that is integrated therein. A pad is insertable into the compartment in the mask and the pad is comprised of a thermally conductive material. In this way the pad can be cooled to reduce swelling on the user's face when the mask is worn and the pad is inserted into the compartment. A band is coupled to the mask and the band is worn around the user's head. A pair of earphones is provided and each of the earphones is coupled to the band. Each of the earphones can be inserted into a respective one of the user's ears when the mask is worn.
Shave-preparation face and neck mask and related methods
Generally disclosed is a mask for applying heated water, ointments, or other medications to the face and neck of a user. Although the preferred usage is application of hot water for shave-preparation etc, the disclosed mask can be also used with cold water for closing the pores and cooling the face after shaving or other kind of treatments.
DEVICES CONFIGURED TO MONITOR BIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS, AND TO PROVIDE TREATMENT, AT AN ABREU BRAIN THERMAL TUNNEL
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.
MASK, DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR WHITENING SKIN
The present disclosure relates to a mask, a device and a method for whitening skin. In an embodiment, the mask includes a contact layer having a lower portion configured to contact a face surface of a user, and at least one thermoelectric module including a first major surface disposed in contact with an upper portion of the contact layer and a second major surface positioned opposite to the first major surface. The mask also includes a heat dissipation layer being disposed in contact with the second major surface of the thermoelectric module. The mask further includes a controller configured to control the thermoelectric module to: cool the first major surface at a cooling temperature such that the skin of the user reaches a target temperature at which a pigmentation by melanocytes on the user's skin is suppressed, and maintain the cooling of the first major surface for a cooling interval.
Heating / cooling body treatment therapy pad system
A heating/cooling therapy treatment pad system incorporates a plurality of therapy pads that can be coupled together by connectors and attachments to form an integrated therapy pad assembly. The thermal pads have pouches for receiving thermal inserts that may be heated or chilled. The thermal inserts may be cylindrical in shape and there may be thermal insert gaps, or spaces between the pouches to enable better conformability of the therapy pad to a person's body, such as around the neck. The heating/cooling therapy treatment pad system may include a neck therapy pad, spine therapy pad, head and face therapy pads, shoulder therapy pad, lumbar therapy pad, armpit thermal therapy pad and a thermal therapy pad vest. The system of pads interconnect to provide tailored thermal therapy to multiple areas of a user's body and may be used to effectuate rapid cooling and in particular for those suffering from heat exhaustion.
