A noninvasive method of reducing a user's body apparent body fat by applying a device emitting high power light having a wavelength shorter than 1065 nm externally through the skin of the patient. The device is placed on or attached to one or more areas of a patient's body. Sufficient energy, with a targeted value of 6.6 J/cm absorbed, is applied to one or more of those areas to cause a reduction in the measurement in the energized areas. The preferred methodology uses LEDs at about 532 nm and 635 nm. Targeted energy levels are a minimum of 2 W/cm for LED emissions applied every other day for a minimum of 75 seconds per exposed area; until desired amount of size reduction is achieved.

A light irradiation device includes a first light source emitting first light in a visible wavelength band and a second light source emitting second light, in which at least part of a wavelength band is different from a wavelength band of the first light source and which catalyzes synthesis of a functional substance in a target to which light is applied. The second light includes light in a wavelength band of ultraviolet B.

A system is provided for treating a skin surface of a user, comprising: at least one light emitting source configured to focus light on a specified skin region of the user, the light being configured to treat a skin condition of the user; and a controller configured to control emission of the light onto the specified skin region of the user.

The invention relates to a body irradiating device, in particular for irradiating a body of a person or a part of a body of a person, in particular with cosmetically and hygienically useful radiation, comprising a radiation source with a base and at least one first LED chip which can emit a first radiation spectrum with a first radiation peak and at least one second LED chip which can emit a second radiation spectrum with a second radiation peak differing from the first radiation peak. A body irradiating device allowing the radiation spectrum of more than one LED chip to be combined and uniformly supplied to the human body is achieved in that the first LED chip and the second LED chip are arranged below a common lens in an LED package and can be controlled separately.

A stimulation system includes an energy source, an electronics unit with a controller, and an actuator that is coupled with the electronics unit and/or the energy source. The actuator emits electromagnetic waves for stimulation of genetically manipulated tissue. The electronics unit is disposed in a housing. The stimulation system is configured for at least temporary implantation in a human or animal body. The controller controls the stimulation of tissue in the body by way of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the actuator. A selector of the stimulation system selects the area of the said tissue for stimulation. The selector includes a masking device for masking certain areas of the tissue, so that an intensity of the stimulation for the masked areas is reduced or equal to zero.

Methods, systems, and devices for integrated photo-responsive contouring treatment are described. Methods include identifying a region of skin corresponding to a contouring treatment of the skin. The region of skin may be provided with a photo-responsive material overlying a portion of the region of the skin. Methods may include identifying one or more treatment regions overlapping the photo-responsive material. The treatment regions may be identified at least in part to apply the contouring treatment. Methods may include determining an irradiation profile for each of the one or more treatment regions to contour each respective treatment region as part of applying the contouring treatment. Methods may also include irradiating the photo-responsive material at the one or more treatment regions in accordance with the respective irradiation profiles. Irradiating the photo-responsive material may induce a localized change in shape of the photo-responsive material in the respective treatment regions.

A light based therapy helmet has a circuit board layer which is equipped with multiple lighting dots. Each of the multiple lighting dots respectively is a first, a second or a third light-emitting unit. The first, the second and the third light-emitting units respectively emit a light of a first, a second and a third light band which respectively include a wavelength of 660 nm, 940 nm and 1600 nm. A lower helmet body is provided with an accommodation space configured for a user's head to be accommodated directly. An upper helmet body is provided with an accommodation space that fits the circuit board layer. When the lower helmet body, the circuit board layer, and the upper helmet body fit together, the circuit board layer is fixed between the upper helmet body and the lower helmet body. A controller controls the on/off and the brightness of the multiple lighting dots.

Provided is an in vivo implantable nerve stimulation platform which includes: a light source emitting light having a plurality of wavelength bands; and a photoelectric generator generating electricity for stimulating a nerve or a tissue by the light emitted from the light source, in which the light source and the photoelectric generator are implanted in vivo.
