Apparatuses and methods configured to provide heat and cold to the skin along with a skin treatment to control rate of skin treatment flow to the skin are described. The disclosed apparatuses and methods include beneficially delaying the transition of skin treatments once skin penetration is achieved to improve the effectiveness of topical treatments to the skin. Accordingly, the disclosed apparatuses and methods are configured to enhance the benefits of topical treatments to the skin.

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 fabric delivers active ingredients to a surface when the fabric includes a moist-vapor porous combination of fabric materials, and the fabric comprises at least 0.5% by total weight of at least one layer of the fabric of a superabsorbent polymer fiber. The superabsorbent polymer fiber contains an absorbed aqueous reservoir of an aqueous solution carrying the active ingredients. The superabsorbent fiber has a coating on its surface of an aqueous penetrable layer through which a liquid in the absorbed aqueous reservoir can migrate or flow, carrying the active ingredients onto an exposed surface of the superabsorbent polymer fiber, so that the active ingredients on the surface of the superabsorbent polymer can react or interact with an environment in contact with the active ingredients on the superabsorbent polymer fiber surface.

A device that fits on a person's finger to reduce the effect, appearance, and/or sensitivity of a scar. The device includes a therapeutic material such as a therapeutic cream that can be released upon the application of heat such as frictional heat generated during use of the device. The device can also be used as an applicator to distribute and work therapeutic material into the scar after the therapeutic material has been placed directly onto the scar tissue. A method of manufacturing the device includes mixing the therapeutic material, a moldable material, and an optional curing agent to form a compound material, molding the compound material, heating the compound material or the molded structure, and curing the molded structure. Alternatively, the curing agent can be absorbed into the cured structure.

A soft thermoformable elastomer with a phase change material exhibiting high latent heat of fusion. The compound provides elasticity, softness, formability, and heat over an extended duration and to facilitate prolonged skin contact at elevated temperatures. Used in combination with active ingredients the increased temperature and formability provides enhanced transdermal delivery through the skin. Thermoplastic elastomers may be manufactured by mixing together plasticizing oil, a triblock copolymer, a paraffinic substance and one or more additives, e.g., an antioxidant, an antimicrobial agent, and/or other additives to form a mixture which melted then cooled into the thermoplastic elastomer. During cooling, the thermoplastic elastomer may be molded or otherwise formed into any number of articles including, but not limited to, prosthetic liners, prosthetic sleeves, external breast prostheses, breast enhancement bladders, masks, wound dressing sheets, wound dressing pads, socks, gloves, malleolus pads, metatarsal pads, shoe insoles, urinary catheters, vascular catheters, and balloons for medical catheters both vascular as well as urinary. Active ingredients are preferably added to the cooling thermoplastic elastomer when the temperature is below 100° F. to prevent heat degradation and/or breakdown of vital proteins.

The present invention provides a method for promoting hair growth and improving white hair condition, including supplying hydrogen and oxygen to scalp and hair. The present invention further provides a hear wearable device or a hairdressing apparatus for promoting hair growth and improving white hair condition, including a gas supply device, wherein the gas supply device includes a separation layer, a hydrogen-producing composition wrapped in the separation layer, and an oxygen-producing composition wrapped in the separation layer; the hydrogen-producing composition includes: (1) a metal hydroxide and aluminum powder, or (2) a metal peroxide and aluminum powder, or (3) a hydride, or (4) a combination of the three above; and the oxygen-producing composition includes a metal peroxide.

A facial mask for skin care is provided. According to the present invention, provided is a facial mask for skin care, comprising: a mask member applied to the facial area of the human body; one or more vibrators provided in the mask member so as to transmit vibration to the skin; an actuating unit for transmitting the vibration of the vibrators toward the skin, and blocking the vibration transmitted to the mask member; and a control unit for individually controlling the plurality of vibrators.

A hair treatment cap apparatus for product application and scalp massage for hair loss prevention includes a cap body having an inner layer and an outer layer joined at a cap edge and defining a cap bladder. The inner layer has a plurality of release apertures extending therethrough and the outer layer has a fill aperture extending therethrough to the cap bladder. The cap bladder holds a liquid hair treatment that is filled through the fill aperture and dispersed through the plurality of release apertures. The cap body is sufficiently flexible to conform to the shape of a wearer's head. The cap edge is elasticized to form a waterproof barrier around the user's head. A plurality of massage motors is coupled to the cap body to vibrate a plurality of nubs coupled to the inner layer. A controller coupled to the cap body operates the plurality of massage motors.

The present invention relates generally to the field of therapeutic accessories. More specifically, the present invention relates to a body-worn accessory which can be used to provide heating or massaging to an area of the body. The invention has a body with a front surface, a rear surface and an interior surface, a battery and a remote. The interior surface of the body has at least one heating or massaging element that is powered by the battery, and can be controlled by the remote. The remote further allows a user to control the heat or massage level of the at least one pad and the activity/inactivity of the element. The body of the device may also have a pouch to store one of a battery, pad or sponge.

The present invention relates to a skin protection device primarily comprised of a body with a top surface and a bottom surface, and a backing sheet. The body is preferably flexible and is manufactured from a biodegradable, waterproof, and UV-resistant/UV-blocking material that is plastic, fabric, or latex-based. In addition, the body may be infused with a plurality of zinc particles/compounds to protect against sun/UV damage and may have differing levels of SPF protection. The body is preferably colored to resemble the skin shade or tone of the user and has an adhesive bottom surface that can adhere to a user's skin. The body may be appropriately shaped in any conventional or non-conventional shape that may or may not mimic the shape of the body part it is being applied to.
