A method treating a root canal in a tooth by introducing into the pulp chamber of a tooth and pulsing a laser light into the fluid reservoir so as to disintegrate pulp within the root canal without generation of any significant heat in said liquid fluid so as to avoid elevating the temperature of any of the dentin, tooth, or other adjacent tissue more than about 5″ C.

The present invention relates to a therapy for vitiligo. In particular the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) analogue either alone, in combination with narrow band UVB and/or in combination with one or more corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, anti-inflammatory agents and/or photochemotherapeutic agents for the treatment or prevention of vitiligo.

The present disclosure relates generally to devices, systems, and methods for diagnosis and treatment via laser-treated skin and, more particularly, to devices, systems, and methods for inducing leakage or rupture of one or more blood vessels comprising the dermis for various diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Other aspects of the present disclosure can include methods for detecting one or more target analytes in a dermis of a subject, methods for facilitating skin-to-blood delivery of agent in a subject, and methods for collecting a fluid sample from the dermis of a subject.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for enabling ultraviolet radiation treatments are provided.

Provided herein are biocompatible scaffolds engineered to convey growth stimulatory light to cells and augment their growth on the scaffolds both in vitro and in vivo. Also provide are methods of modifying biocompatible transparent waveguides to control delivery of light from the waveguide material.

A personal wearable headband having far infrared and temperature measurement functions includes a headband body defining a headband receiving space and having a plurality of far infrared particles blended in the headband body, a window communicating with the headband receiving space, and a through hole communicating with the headband receiving space and opposite to the window. A temperature measuring unit is disposed in the headband receiving space and includes a temperature measuring element configured to contact the forehead of a user for detecting a temperature thereof, and a display screen corresponding in position to the window and configured to display the temperature detected by the temperature measuring element.

An exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to providing a skin care apparatus using plasma and near-infrared ray designed to provide effects of improving skin and lifting by irradiating plasma and near-infrared ray generated through dual electric generation on skin contacted by a spherical form. Further, the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosures are directed to providing a skin care apparatus using plasma and near-infrared ray that prevents skin contact or dual irradiation, which were used to happen in the conventional side contact structure, with the method of irradiating plasma and near-infrared ray by using dielectric barrier discharge for each of the plasma discharge groove and near-infrared irradiation groove that are different from the conventional contact structure, through a spot contact spherical body structure.

The present invention relates to light therapy devices and related methods to treat the female genitalia and areas proximal thereto, including the vaginal cavity and vulvar regions in cisgender females or transgender females who have undergone sex reassignment, in particular for post-surgical indications, vaginal rejuvenation, or other medical conditions suitable for treatment with light therapy. The devices and methods are configured to provide a therapeutic amount of low level light therapy to a patient in need of treatment thereof.

The present invention comprises methods and devices for modulating the activity or activities of living cells, such as cells found in or derived from humans, animals, plants, insects, microorganisms and other organisms. Methods of the present invention comprise use of the application of ultrasound, such as low intensity, low frequency ultrasound, to living cells to affect the cells and modulate the cells' activities. Devices of the present invention comprise one or more components for generating ultrasound waves, such as ultrasonic emitters, transducers or piezoelectric transducers, composite transducers, CMUTs, and which may be provided as single or multiple transducers or in an array configurations. The ultrasound waves may be of any shape, and may be focused or unfocused.

A photo-bio-stimulation device uses near infrared (NIR) laser illumination of the scalp to promote hair growth with a lightweight user wearable device. All the remaining components are mounted on the concave underside of an outer cap shell. Many VCSEL laser device chips are surface mount soldered underneath of a single large flexible printed circuit. These discrete devices direct a diffused, near uniform flood of 678-nanometer monochromatic laser light deep into the hair roots and follicles across the scalps of its users. Petal shapes along a central spine are cut deep into the side edges of the flexible printed circuit to allow it to be conformed and fixed into a hemispherical dome and attached with dozens of plastic snaps inside the outer shell. This connects inside to a rechargeable battery and power controller. A protective clear covering matching the concave underside is attached along the brims.
