[0042] Detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein with the reference to accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to refer to same members as follows:

[0065] FIGS. 1, 2A and 2B illustrate exemplary configurations for a cryocabin arrangement 100 for implementing an operating method, according to the embodiments.

[0066] The arrangement 100 comprises a cabin 10 and a cooling unit 20. The cabin 10 is configured as an open-top chamber with an interior 10A suitable for accommodating a user. In presented configurations, the cabin 10 is configured as a vertical open-top chamber suitable for accommodating a standing adult human in a manner shown on FIGS. 3A and 3B.

[0067] It should be noted that upon appropriate modifications, the cabin 10 can accommodate a standing nonhuman mammal. In particular, the cabin can be modified to accommodate a so called companion animal or a pet, such as a canine, an equine, and the like.

[0068] The cabin further comprises a base 11 and a door 12, the latter being implemented as a hinged door or as a sliding door. The base 11 can be further equipped with a standing platform 11A or a similar appliance configured to move up and down along a vertical axis, whereby the cabin interior can be adapted to the height of the user. Position of the user in the cabin is adjusted, by means of said standing platform 11A, such that the upper edge of the cabin is approximately at a neck level of the user, whereby head remains above the open-top upper edge (viz. outside the cabin).

[0069] The cabin comprises a number of illumination devices 13 configured as spot light sources located along the upper edge of the cabin (FIGS. 2A, 2B) optionally combined with a central light source as shown on FIG. 1. Location and the number of illumination sources can vary depending on particular cabin design.

[0070] The cabin can further comprise a number of parameters displays 14 (FIG. 1), to display a variety of treatment related parameters, such as time, ambient temperature, pressure, humidity, and the like. The parameter screen(s) 14 can be further configured to show user-related parameters, such as real-time readouts from a thermographic camera, for example.

[0071] The cabin 10 is thermally insulated. In some instances, a number of protection shields 17 is positioned against the cooling unit 20 and the fluid circulation units 30 to protect the user from coolant streams produced thereby (FIG. 2A). The interior of the cabin 10 including protection shields 17 may be padded by a suitable cold-resisting material. The shields 17 can be configured as temporary, easily dismountable appliances.

[0072] The cooling unit 20 comprises blowing appliances, such as blower(s) or impeller(s), for example, to deliver cooling fluid 201 directly into the cabin 10 (FIG. 1). The cooling unit 20 is preferably provided as a vertically standing unit that delivers cooling fluid 201 into the cabin 10 essentially along the entire height of said cabin. Intake fluid, preferably gaseous medium, such as air (e.g. ambient air), pressurized and optionally pre-cooled in a compressor 21, is guided into the cooling unit comprising at least one heat-exchanger (not shown).

[0073] The cooling unit 20 produces a stream or streams of cooling fluid 201 entering the cabin at a substantially low speed, within a range of 0.2-5 meters per second (m/s).

[0074] The arrangement 100 further comprises a number of fluid circulation units 30, which intake and (re)circulate the cooling fluid 201 delivered into the cabin 10, and return recirculated cooling fluid, in the form of return fluidic streams 301, back into the cabin. For the sake of clarity we note that cooling fluid indicated by reference numbers 201, 301 is the same substance (e.g. air) having essentially identical temperature. Provision of diverse reference numbers (201, 301) aims at distinguishing between the cooling fluid streams 201 entering the cabin directly from the cooling unit 20 and the cooling fluid streams 301 recirculated in the circulation units 30 and thus re-entering the cabin 10.

[0075] The cooling fluid 201, 301 distributed inside the cabin 10 is adjusted to a temperature t2 equal to or above −40 degrees Celsius (° C.) (FIG. 1A). In embodiments, temperature of said cooling fluid 201, 301 is provided within a range of −45° C. to −15° C., preferably, within a range of −35° C. to −25° C. In non-limiting examples, the cooling fluid 201, 301 is adjusted to temperatures t2 of −28° C., −29° C. or −30° C. At these values attaining the cold-induced thermal shock at skin surface and the underlying tissue can be the most straightforward.

[0076] In preferred configurations the arrangement 100 comprises two fluid circulation units 30A, 30B arranged at both sides of the cooling unit 20 essentially opposite one another (FIGS. 2A, 2B). Each fluid circulation unit 30 preferably comprises a number of impeller devices 31 (see FIG. 4) for fluid recirculation.

[0077] The cabin arrangement 100 is preferably electrically operated. The arrangement thus comprises at least one electric motor (not shown) positioned such that heat produced thereby does not affect the cabin 10, or any one of the cooling- or fluid circulations units 20, 30, accordingly. The impeller devices 33 can be driven by electric power produced by said electric motor.

[0078] In some configurations, each circulation unit 30 comprises a number of cooling fluid intake appliances 31 configured to intake, by suction, for example, fluid streams 201 from the cabin and a number of cooling fluid return appliances 32 configured to return recirculated fluid streams 301 back into the cabin (FIGS. 1 and 5). The intake appliances can be configured as suction nozzles, for example, whereas the return appliances can be configured as any kind of nozzles or spouts suitable for directing fluids into a predetermined direction. In embodiments, the return appliances 32 are provided as inclined nozzles configured to return recirculated cooling fluid 301 into the cabin 10 along a path inclined at an angle within a range of 30-50 degree related to vertical walls of said cabin. In some configurations, said inclination angle constitutes 45 degrees in any one of upward and downward directions. The return nozzles can be configured as automatically adjustable rotating nozzles (e.g. ball-type nozzles), that enable adjusting jet direction of such nozzle within a range of 0-50 degree.

[0079] The intake appliances 31 and, in particular, return appliances 32 are advantageously disposed along the entire height of the cabin such, as to target all body regions, such as the upper body/chest region, waist region, the lower body and the legs.

[0080] Fluid circulation units 30 produce a stream or streams of cooling fluid 301 (re)entering the cabin at a substantially high speed, within a range of 15-25 meters per second (m/s). However, each return appliance 32 can be configured to produce a fluidic jet of a variable speed or flow velocity.

[0081] In an exemplary operating cycle, the cooling unit 20 is configured to produce fluidic streams 201 that enter the cabin at a speed of about 2 m/s; whereas the fluid circulation units 30 are configured to produce fluidic streams 301 that (re)enter the cabin at a speed of about 18 m/s.

[0082] Control over cooling fluid distribution via the return appliances 32 can be implemented locally by means of control devices 18 (FIG. 5). Control device(s) 18, such as relays, valves (e.g. solenoid valves), related actuators and other devices are used to control cooling fluid distribution variables, such as at least speed (s1 , s2) and direction (a, b) based on an input received into a central processing unit 41, as described herein below. The control device 18 can be configured to control an individual return appliance 32 or a number of appliances 32.

[0083] The cabin arrangement 100 further comprises a plurality of sensor devices 16 (FIGS. 3A, 3B), preferably disposed in the interior 10A of the cabin. The sensor devices 16 are disposed at different heights along the internal perimeter of the cabin (on internal walls and, optionally, on an inner side of the door) to obtain measurements uniformly across the entire interior 10A. The sensor devices 16 are preferably configured as thermal sensors/transmitters that measure temperature (t1) at skin surface of the user and/or temperature (t2) in the cabin throughout the operation cycle and send measurement data to the processing unit 41 (FIGS. 1B, 5). Optionally, some sensor devices can be configured to measure additional variables, such as pressure, humidity, presence of chemical substances in the ambient, and the like.

[0084] Thermal sensor devices that measure temperature (t1) at the user skin surface can be configured as infrared (IR) sensors, for example. Still, any other sensor device capable of measuring temperature and/or detecting heat emitted from skin surface of the user positioned in the cabin 10 can be utilized.

[0085] In some configurations, a number of thermographic cameras, comprising an at least one thermal sensor device 16, as described above, can be integrated in the interior of the cabin 10. Said thermographic camera(s) and/or the individual sensor devices 16 can be configured to generate a thermal map based on temperature variables t1 measured at the user skin surface.

[0086] User-specific measurement data obtainable by said sensor devices 16 during the operating cycle forms at least a part of the input data received by the processing unit 41. In said processing unit the measurement data is analyzed and an output is generated in the form of signals sent to the units 20 and 30 for adjusting, to a predetermined level, distribution of the cooling fluid 201, 301 in the cabin 10 during the operation cycle. Adjustable fluidic flow distribution variables include at least source, velocity, speed and/or direction of a fluidic flow conveyed into the cabin 10 from the cooling unit 20 and/or the fluid circulation units 30.

[0087] Other (“external”) input data can be obtained prior to beginning of the operating cycle. Such data is also user-specific and comprises information about the user, such as height, weight, age, gender, and the like. During data processing, said external user-specific data can be optionally combined with the measurement data obtained from the sensor devices 16.

[0088] Obtaining measurement (input) data from the sensor devices 16, processing said data and producing an output (a series of commands to select a source, such as a nozzle or nozzles 32 and/or to render fluidic streams 201, 301 with a predetermined speed and/or direction) is conducted in real time continuously during the operation cycle. By means of the local control devices 18, the return appliances 32, such as nozzles, can be selectively set open/closed or rotated into a predetermined direction

[0089] The processing unit 41 can be integrated within the cabin arrangement 100 or provided as a standalone solution, e.g. as a local- or remote computer system, for example, including, but not limited to PC, portable or tablet computer, mobile phone, smart phone, PDA and the like. To encompass either option the reference number 41 is shown on FIG. 1A in parenthesis.

[0090] The computer system may be further configured to display measurement parameters obtainable from the sensor devices 16, for example, in the form of visualizations (e.g. thermographic images/thermal maps in 2D and/or 3D). These visualizations, generally available to the operator of the system 100, can be further synchronized with images visible to the user via the parameter displays(s) 14, for example. The computer system may, for example, present temperature variables (t1, t2) measurable with regard to different body regions during the operating cycle as a three-dimensional interactive visualization.

[0091] The cabin arrangement further comprises a control terminal 42 (FIG. 1) equipped with a user interface, preferably, a graphical user interface. The latter can be realized in the form of a display screen, such as a touchscreen, for example. User interface may also comprise an at least one audio input-output device and an associated circuitry. FIG. 1 shows provision of the control terminal 42 integrated into the cabin 10, such as into the door 12 or a sidewall of the cabin. The control terminal 42 can be connected, in wired or wireless manner, to the processing unit 41.

[0092] The control terminal 42 is further provided with one or more processing devices containing a processing circuitry capable of interpreting and executing instructions input via the user interface, said processing devices being realized as microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, programmable logic chips etc.

[0093] The control terminal 42 can be configured to acquire a direct electrical communication with each of the control devices 18 regulating distribution of recirculated cooling fluid 301 into the cabin 10 and/or with a number of regulating valves provided within the cooling unit 20 and the fluid circulation unit(s) 30.

[0094] In some instances, the spot-light devices 13 (FIGS. 2A, 2B, the upper edge of the cabin) can be configured to emit light within a predetermined portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, preferably, within the visible spectrum, defined as the wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation between 380 and 750 nanometers (nm). In some instances, each device 13 can be configured to emit light at a single fixed wavelength, such as blue (about 490 nm to about 450 nm), green (about 560 nm to about 520 nm) and/or red (about 620 nm to about 750 nm). In such an event, the illumination devices 13 can be advantageously provided as Light Emitting Devices (LEDs) or any other devices appropriate for use, in particular, in view of development of the technology.

[0095] In some instances, combining light sources configured to emit light at different wavelengths into arrays is advantageous due to ability of light emitted at various wavelengths to target particular dermal conditions. Thus, blue light is known to effectively treat a variety of dermal infections, such as acne and related skin inflammations. Green light is, in turn, known to targets dark circles, pigmentation, and the like. Additionally, green light calms irritated skin and it is often used in the anti-age treatments. Red light accelerates blood circulation at skin surface and increases collagen production, which is essential for various skin stimulation- and rejuvenation (cosmetic) treatments.

[0096] A method 500 for operating the cryocabin arrangement 100 is schematically represented on FIG. 1B. In embodiments, the method 500 is a computer-implemented method. In the method, the user-specific data is received, at 501, into the processing unit 41. The user-specific data received at 501 comprises indications measurable at skin surface of the user upon delivery of cooling fluid 201 into the cabin 10 via the cooling unit 20 followed by intake and recirculation of said cooling fluid by fluid circulation units 30, which further return recirculated cooling fluid 301 inside said cabin.

[0097] The user-specific data received at 501 comprises at least temperature indications obtainable from a number of sensor devices 16. Said user-specific data can comprise information on heat extraction detected and/or measured at the skin surface of the user positioned into the cabin 10.

[0098] At 502, the user-specific data is processed in the processing unit 41.

[0099] The method continues at 503 (generation of the output), wherein, based on said user-specific data, distribution of said cooling fluid 201, 301 inside the cabin 10, is selectively adjusted in terms of at least speed and/or direction of a fluidic flow, to a predetermined level a during an operation cycle. Adjustable variables include at least flow speed s1, s2, s3 and/or flow direction vectors a, b, c. A predetermined number of return appliances 32 can further be selected for directing streams 201 and/or 301 into the cabin.

[0100] In embodiment, the method comprises adjusting distribution of recirculated cooling fluid 301 returned into the cabin via the return appliances 32 (fluid circulation unit(s) 30) optionally controlled by the control devices 18 (adjusting speed variables s1, s2 and direction variables a, b). In another embodiment, fluid flow variables, such as at least speed s3 and/or direction vector(s) c, can be adjusted also for the stream(s) 201 conveyed into the cabin from the cooling unit 20. The latter configuration is optional and it is indicated on FIG. 1B by dashed lines.

[0101] In embodiments, the data received from the thermal sensor devices 16 concerns the temperature indications measurable at the user skin surface (variable t1; FIG. 1B). It is particularly advantageous that the sensor devices 16 are configured to detect a particular region or regions on skin surface at which temperature has reached or about to reach the values within a range of −1 to 0 degrees Celsius, to register and to transmit these indications to the processing unit 41. In the method, the cooling fluid distribution related variables, such as at least flow speed and/or direction vectors are further adjusted to values, at which the temperature at skin surface can be reached and maintained at a level within a range of −1 to 0° C. during the operating cycle.

[0102] By adjusting fluidic flow 201, 301 distribution parameters during the operation cycle, as disclosed hereinabove, a controlled cold impact can be applied onto the entire body of the user (excluding head), whereby the temperature at skin surface across the entire body area can be decreased to reach values (t1) within −1 to 0 degrees Celsius. By regulating fluidic flow related parameters, such as at least speed, direction and/or source, based on the data produced by the thermal sensor devices 16, these temperature values can be reached nearly simultaneously throughout the entire body of the user (viz. for the body areas having high-, moderate- and low perception threshold for cold impact).

[0103] The temperature values within a range of −1 to 0° C. can be considered as a threshold, thereafter the fluid distribution variables should be maintained essentially stable. Thus, the temperature at skin surface should preferably be no lower than approximately −1° C. and no higher than approximately 0° C. During the operating cycle, fluid distribution variables (speed, direction vectors, etc.) are adjusted to and maintained at a level sufficient to reach and maintain the temperature variable(s) t1 measureable at the user skin surface, within a range of −1 to 0° C. Duration of each operating cycle is determined individually.

[0104] Temperature at skin surface slightly below zero or equal to zero (° C.) is sufficient to develop the cold-induced thermal shock response (cold shock response) in skin and the underlying tissue, such as subcutaneous tissue. It has been observed that the temperature variable t1 measurable at the skin surface reaches the values between −1 to 0° C., when the temperature regime t2 inside the cabin is within −28° C. to −30° C., and the speed s1, s2 of fluidic stream(s) 301 is within a range of 15-20 m/s, in some instances, approximately 18 m/s. Based on the measurements obtainable from the thermal sensor devices 16 in real time, direction vectors a, b for the fluidic streams 301A, 301B, accordingly, produced by the return appliances 32 can be adjusted (FIG. 5).

[0105] In some instances, the fluid distribution variables can be adjusted such, as to create vortical (vortex) flow essentially around a central vertical axis of the cabin.

[0106] For clarity purposes the expression “cold-induced thermal shock response” is utilized in the present disclosure with reference to the processes occurring in skin and the underlying tissue during and instantly after the controlled cold impact, which processes include, but are not limited to: vasomotor response, such as cold-induced alteration of the diameter in peripheral blood vessels (hereby, narrowing or vasoconstriction and subsequent widening or vasodilatation) leading to acceleration and intensification of blood circulation and increased oxygen supply to blood and tissues; and release into bloodstream of the neuromediator substances, such as noradrenaline, serotonin and endorphins, for example. Amongst aforesaid, noradrenaline in known for its involvement in reducing inflammation processes; whereas serotonin and endorphins are often referred to as natural painkillers.

[0107] The invention takes into account a so called “wind chill factor” principle (whereby the body feels far colder than the ambient temperature due to the “wind”, viz. flow of cold air) attainable by directing cooling fluid inside the cabin at a predetermined speed and in predetermined direction, whereby a high-speed flow is established essentially along the entire height of the cabin.

[0108] In some configurations, the cabin arrangement 100 further comprises a number of vaporizer devices 15 configured to deliver into the cabin an aqueous-based solution 15A (FIG. 1) prior to or during the operation cycle. The vaporizer devices are preferably configured as spray vaporizers, jet-vaporizers, or atomizers. The solution 15A is supplied into the cabin from a number of replaceable containers (not shown) disposed outside the cabin.

[0109] Accordingly, the method for operating the cryocabin arrangement 100 can be further optionally supplemented by delivery of an aqueous-based solution 15A, preferably by spraying, into the cabin 10 via a number of said vaporizer devices 15.

[0110] To further promote heat extraction from skin, the solution 15A can be delivered into the cabin 10 prior to or during the operating cycle. Delivery of the solution 15A before the beginning of the operating cycle is advantageous. It has been observed that using micellar aqueous solutions combined with vegetable oils allows increasing heat extraction from skin surface almost twice, as compared to plain water. Delivery of the solution 15A into the cabin serves complementary purposes; therefore, the step involving delivery of said solution into the cabin can be omitted.

[0111] The aqueous-based solution 15A comprises an aqueous component and an oil component. The oil component is preferably a vegetable oil selected, in a non-limiting manner, from the group consisting of: argan oil, sunflower seed oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, almond oil, coconut oil, castor oil, rosehip oil, and any combination thereof. This list should not be treated as exhaustive, as any other vegetable (plant-derived) oil having an established use is cosmetics, for example, can be utilized in the solution 15A.

[0112] In mentioned solution 15A, the aqueous component is water, more preferably, a micellar aqueous solution commonly referred to as micellar water.

[0113] Micellar aqueous solutions are dispersions of micelles in aqueous media, typically water. Micelles are spherical formations of surfactants having hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous medium and hydrophobic tails inside the sphere. Micellar aqueous solutions are common water-based skin cleansers that do not have to be rinsed off afterwards. An idea behind using micellar solutions as cleansers is that micelles are attracted to oil and dirt so that they can remove these impurities from skin. Typically, micellar cleansers are used as all-in-one cleansers and are especially beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin.

[0114] A composition for use in a method for operating the cryocabin arrangement 100, according to the embodiments, is provided in the form of an aqueous-based solution 15A and comprising an aqueous component and an oil component, wherein the aqueous component is a micellar aqueous solution and wherein the oil component is a vegetable oil selected from the group consisting of: argan oil, sunflower seed oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, almond oil, coconut oil, castor oil, rosehip oil, and any combination thereof.

[0115] In a non-limiting example, the composition 15A comprises a micellar aqueous solution, sunflower seed oil, glycerin and at least one surfactant.
