ESTHETIC APPARATUS USEFUL FOR INCREASING SKIN REJUVENATION AND METHODS THEREOF

A system is provided for increasing skin rejuvenation of a region of a patient's skin comprising a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) frequency generator for constantly providing electromagnetic pulses to said region of a patient's skin and a deep tissue diathermy device for constantly applying heat to said region of a patient's skin up to temperature T. The system is adapted for simultaneously applying heat and PEMF to the region of a patient's skin. Application of the system increases skin rejuvenation such that the skin rejuvenation increase (SRI) is greater than the sum of the SRI provided by electromagnetic pulses increase and the SRI provided by the deep tissue diathermy device increase.

A METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING CHANGES IN RETINAL AND/OR BRAIN TEMPERATURE

In the solution of the invention at least one an electrical response signal from a retina is acquired in a first temperature, at least one electrical response signal from the retina is acquired in at least a second temperature, the second temperature being different than the first temperature. At least the electrical response signal acquired in the second temperature is transformed with a plurality of different transformation parameter values resulting a plurality of different transformed signals. The different transformed signals of the electrical response signal in the second temperature are compared to the electrical response signal and/or the transformed signals acquired from the retina in the first temperature. The transformed electrical response signal which produces the highest similarity measure with the electrical response signal and/or transformed signal acquired from the retina in the first temperature is selected. The transformation parameter value or parameter values of the selected transformed signal is converted to a temperature, temperature difference estimate and/or temperature dependent indicator between the first temperature and the second temperature.
