COMBINED ENERGY AND TOPICAL COMPOSITION APPLICATION FOR REGULATING THE CONDITION OF MAMMALIAN SKIN

摘要

A method for regulating the condition of mammalian skin by the steps of applying a first personal care composition to an area of skin where regulation is desired. The first personal care composition contains a gel composition. In another step energy is delivered to the dermis to heat collagen in the dermis such that the heated collagen in the dermis heats the epidermis and stratum corneum until the stratum corneum reaches an external temperature of from about 37 DEG C to about 48 DEG C. The energy delivery to the dermis is then controlled to maintain the temperature of the stratum corneum in the range of from about 37 DEG C to about 48 DEG C.
