Accordingly, after determining the therapeutic benefits desired, a serum solution 12, 14 or 16 is selected. Upon selection, the predetermined serum solution is applied as at 18 in FIG. 1. As also represented in FIG. 1, subsequent to the application of the predetermined serum solution 18 to the skin, a serum locking composition is applied, as at 20, in overlying, covering relation to the previously applied predetermined serum solution 18.

[0038] The serum locking composition 20 may in fact be applied in cream form and is infused with hydration-boosting hyaluronic acid and also incorporates shea and/or mangosteen butter with botanical extracts. Moreover, the serum locking composition 20 is manually worked in or infused into the predetermined serum solution 18 in order to facilitate adherence and encapsulation of a pre-heated wax composition 24, as set forth in greater detail hereinafter. As such, the serum locking composition 20 may be formulated to include the therapeutic ingredients as follows:

Ingredients: Serum Locking Composition (Cream)

[0039] WATER (EAU/AQUA), HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, C10-18 TRIGLYCERIDES, GLYCERIN, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER, GARCINIA INDICA SEED BUTTER, CANDELILLA/JOJOBA/RICE BRAN POLYGLYCERYL-3 ESTERS, GLYCERYL STEARATE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, HYDROXYSTEARIC/LINOLENIC/OLEIC POLYGLYCERIDES, TREHALOSE, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, SODIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM), MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE, SODIUM BENZOATE, CHLORPHENESIN, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE, CITRIC ACID, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, TOCOPHEROL, BISABOLOL, LAMINARIA OCHROLEUCA EXTRACT, XIMENIA AMERICANA SEED OIL, BIOSACCHARIDE GUM-2, CELLULOSE GUM, SCLEROTIUM GUM, HYDROLYZED HYALURONIC ACID, XANTHAN GUM, PHYTIC ACID, SODIUM HYALURONATE, COMMIPHORA MUKUL RESIN EXTRACT, OENOTHERA BIENNIS (EVENING PRIMROSE) SEED EXTRACT, BRASSICA OLERACEA, ITALICA (BROCCOLI) EXTRACT, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, PUNICA GRANATUM FRUIT EXTRACT, SILYBUM MARIANUM EXTRACT, ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS (ROSEMARY) LEAF EXTRACT

[0040] As set forth above, the embodiment of FIG. 1 emphasizes the heat amplification characteristics of the method and system 100 of the skin treatment. As such, a wax composition is pre-heated to an increased temperature, as at 22, sufficient to assume a substantially liquid state. Such a liquid state should facilitate the application of the pre-heated wax composition onto the skin, such as by utilizing an applicator brush or other appropriate instrument. Moreover, such a preferred pre-heated temperature of the wax composition may be generally about 122 F.-124 F. This temperature of the applied hot wax composition will also provide an overall comforting feeling to the skin.

[0041] It is noted that the precise temperature of the pre-heated wax composition 24, at the time of application to the skin, is not necessarily limited to these precise temperature parameters. Determinative factors should include a temperature of the wax composition sufficient to facilitate heat transfer to the skin of the user, while encapsulating the predetermined serum solution. However, the temperature of the wax composition should be sufficiently low to avoid discomfort to the skin. Additional features of the wax composition include its formulation to be substantially non-porous thereby eliminating or restricting the ability to remove hair from the skin, once applied, as at 1224.

[0042] Once pre-heated to a preferred temperature 22, the wax composition is applied to the skin, as at 24, in overlying, encapsulating relation to both the predetermined serum solution 18 and the serum locking composition 20. Further, the encapsulating characteristics of the wax composition is further defined by the pre-heated hot wax composition being allowed to cool, in place on the skin. Such cooling will have the effect of substantially solidifying the wax composition into a mask, as at 26. The mask 26 will extend in deliberately overlying, covering relation to the predetermined serum solution 18 and serum locking composition 20, as set forth above and represented in FIG. 1.

[0043] It should also be noted that the formation of the mask 26, upon cooling of the preheated wax composition will serve to encapsulate as well as incubate the underlying predetermined serum solution or booster. As a result, the beneficial properties of at least the underlying serum solution will be more thoroughly absorbed by the skin. Therefore, the formation of the mask from an at least partially solidified, film-like mask better accomplishes the incubation features. This further distinguishes the skin treatment of the present invention from conventional treatments by virtue of the fact that the wax mask may or may not necessarily have therapeutic ingredients formulated therein. However, one beneficial purpose of the wax mask is to perform the aforementioned encapsulation and incubation characteristics on the underlying predetermined serum solution, which in turn facilitates the absorption of the therapeutic and/or beneficial properties of the underlying serum solution into the skin.

[0044] Upon expiration of a predetermined period of time generally, but not exclusively, in the range of about 5-6 minutes, the formed mask 26 is removed, as at 28. The aforementioned solidification of the mask 26 will facilitate its concurrent removal in substantially one piece. Upon removal, the solidification and encapsulation of the wax composition into the mask 26 will serve to concurrently remove at least a majority of the previously applied predetermined serum solution 18 and overlying serum locking composition 20.

[0045] It is of further note that the time that the formed mask remains on the skin of the user, in encapsulating, incubating relation to the underlying predetermined serum solution and serum locking composition may be extended to generally about 10 minutes or even longer, thereby possibly resulting in increased therapeutic benefits. It being noted that categorization of the heat amplified skin treatment of the present invention in the fast-facial category may necessitate that a shorter period of time of the wax mask being left on the user's skin.

[0046] The preferred embodiment of FIGS. 2A-2B incorporates the embodiment of FIG. 1 and describes other procedures, techniques, therapeutic compositions, etc. which may be included in the method and system 100 of the heat amplified skin treatment. These described and represented additions further facilitate and enhance the desired results of the treatment, as presented in schematic form. Moreover, the embodiment of FIGS. 2A-2B represents implementation of the skin treatment at a treatment site which may be a customized and/or a specifically designed commercial site intended for the treatment of numerous users/customers.

[0047] With primary reference to FIG. 2A, initial preparation of the skin may involve the cleansing of the skin, as at 30, in order to remove any pre-existing compositions, materials, etc. Such pre-existing materials may include makeup, medicinal creams, ointments, etc. Such a cleansing process is facilitated by the utilization of one or more micellar wipes specifically structured and/or formulated to facilitate such cleansing procedures. In more specific terms, each of the plurality of micellar wipes are structured and formulated to remove makeup and other pre-existing materials without the use of additional water, while leaving the skin refreshed, smooth and at least minimally moist. As such, each of a plurality of micellar wipes may be formulated to include the following:

Ingredients/Ingrdients: Micellar Wipes

[0048] WATER (EAU/AQUA), GLYCERIN, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, ERYTHRITOL, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, PEG-7 GLYCERYL COCOATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM)

[0049] Thereafter, a purifying gel-lotion cleanser is applied to the skin, preferably in mist form, as at 32. The cleansing lotion may be rubbed and/or massaged lightly into the various portions of the area of the skin. The purifying gel-lotion cleanser or cleansing lotion is infused with collagen and emollient humectants facilitating the removal of any remnants of pre-existing materials on the skin, while moisturizing the skin during the cleansing procedure. As such, a cleansing lotion or purifying gel-lotion cleanser may be formulated to include the following:

INGREDIENTS: Cleansing Lotion

[0050] WATER (EAU/AQUA), PEG-7 GLYCERYL COCOATE, PROPANEDIOL, POLOXAMER 184, GLYCERIN, SQUALANE, XYLITYLGLUCOSIDE, ANHYDROXYLITOL, SOLUBLE COLLAGEN, AMMONIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYLTAURATE/VP COPOLYMER, PHENOXYETHANOL, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, ALLANTOIN, CHLORPHENESIN, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM), POLYSORBATE 60, T-BUTYL ALCOHOL, XYLITOL, SORBITAN ISOSTEARATE, GLUCOSE, BHT, BENZOIC ACID, SORBIC ACID

[0051] Thereafter, the cleansing lotion 32 is removed, as at 34, utilizing the aforementioned and described micellar wipes.

[0052] In order to further maintain a hydrated or moisturized condition of the skin, a mineral micro-mist toner is applied, preferably in mist form, as at 36. This toner solution is infused with mineral-rich water, is alcohol free and serves to invigorate the skin. As such, this toner solution 21 may be formulated to include the following therapeutic composition:

Ingredients/Ingrdients: Toner

[0053] WATER (EAU/AQUA), GLYCERETH-26, PROPANDEIOL, SEA WATER, PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES, PHENOXYETHANOL, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, PPG-26-BUTETH-26, CHLORPHENESIN, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, FRAGRANCE (PARFUM), CETRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, CITRIC ACID

[0054] Subsequent to application of the toner solution 36, as set forth above, the skin is manually dried, as at 38, such as by patting until the skin is dry to the touch. After drying, as at 38, the selected, predetermined serum solution is applied to the skin, as at 18, preferably by hand, as also described with reference to the embodiment of FIG. 1. The application of the predetermined serum solution or booster 18 is followed by the application of the serum locking composition, as at 20 as represented in FIGS. 1 and 2A-2B. It is to be noted that the form of the serum locking composition may be applied as a cream. Further, the serum locking composition 20 may be initially applied to the hands of an individual performing the skin treatment on the user and lightly applied to the skin making sure that the serum locking composition 20 is well rubbed or worked-in. This will further enhance the adherence of the wax composition, as at 24, in FIGS. 1 and 2A-2B. In order to ensure a thorough and complete infusion or working-in of the serum locking composition 20 into the predetermined serum solution 18 and skin, an applying instrument, such as a roller, may also be utilized, as at 40. By way of example, an applying roller type instrument is generally indicated as 102 in FIG. 3. However, it is emphasized that while the roller type application instrument 102 is preferred, the infusion of the serum locking composition 20 into the skin and/or the predetermined serum solution 18, may be effectively accomplished either manually, without such an instrument 102 or utilizing any one of a possible variety of other instruments.

[0055] In addition and by way of example, when the treatment is applied to the face and in order to protect the delicate skin areas located immediately beneath the user's eyes, two eye patches (not shown) may be positioned, as at 42, in overlying relation to such underneath eye areas. This facilitates the protection of the facial skin beneath the eyes, such as during application of the pre-heated wax composition 24. The eye patches may assume a number of different sizes, configurations and structures. Further, the eye patches may be attached by means of a light adhesive or other attachment facility and may comprise a hyper-gel composition, which further protects the under eye area of the user's face.

[0056] Once the eye patches are properly positioned, as applicable, the pre-heated wax composition is applied to the area of the skin, as at 24, in covering, overlying and encapsulating relation to the previously applied predetermined serum solution 18 and serum locking composition 20, as also described with relation to the embodiment of FIG. 1. Also, when applied to the face, the wax composition is applied at 18, in overlying relation to the eye patches in a manner which avoids any potentially damaging contact with the eyes.

[0057] In cooperation therewith and subsequent to the application of the pre-heated wax composition to the face, as at 18, a heated eye cover 106, as represented in FIG. 5, may be applied in covering relation to the eyes of the user, as at 44 in FIG. 2B. The eye cover 106 may take a variety of different forms. In one such form and by way of example only, the structuring of the eye cover 106 may facilitate it being automatically heated once removed from its packaging and exposed to air. The automatically heated eye cover 106 will reach a temperature which is satisfying and soothing and will remain in place during the cooling of the pre-heated wax composition, which in turn will result in the formation of the at least partially solidified mask as at 26 and described in detail with reference to FIG. 1.

[0058] Yet additional procedures, techniques, etc. may include a manual pressing or tapping of the wax composition, as at 46, during the cooling thereof and the resulting formation of the mask, as at 26. This manual pressing or tapping facilitates the encapsulation of the wax composition and subsequent solidified mask, relative to the predetermined serum solution 18 and serum locking composition 20.

[0059] Upon expiration of a predetermined period of time generally, but not exclusively, in the range of about 5-6 minutes, the formed mask 26 is removed, as at 28. The aforementioned solidification of the mask 26 will facilitate its concurrent removal in substantially one piece. Upon removal, the solidification and encapsulation of the wax composition into the mask 26 will serve to concurrently remove at least a majority of the previously applied predetermined serum solution 18 and overlying serum locking composition 20. Since In situations where the pre-heated wax composition is applied to the skin, user's face, it will also be applied in overlying relation to the aforementioned eye patches, as applicable. As a result, the previously positioned eye patches will also be at least partially encapsulated and therefore be concurrently removed by and along with the facial wax mask, during its removal, as at 28.

[0060] Subsequent to the removal of the solidified mask, as at 28, the skin is thoroughly cleansed, utilizing one or more of the micellar wipes, as at 50. This step is performed in order to assure a cleansing and removal of all residues of the wax composition 24, predetermined serum solution 18 and serum locking composition 20, thereby avoiding any sticky and/or tacky feeling Thereafter, the user's skin is thoroughly dried, as at 52, utilizing any type of drying material or instrument.

[0061] One of the final steps in order to assure the comfort and appearance of the skin is the application of the aforementioned micro-mist toner, as at 54. The micro-mist toner or toner solution may be applied in mist form and includes a common formulation as that described with reference to procedure 36 as represented in FIG. 2A.
