Skin-hair treatment method and system

摘要

A method and system of conditioning human skin and hair using a hand-held skin/hair conditioner having interchangeable interface conductors that are contoured to enhance electrical conductivity between the conditioner and a variety of body areas. Each of the interchangeable interface conductors are preferably formed to maximize surface area contact with a variety of body surfaces such as scalp/hair, body skin, and facial skin. In a preferred embodiment, the skin/hair conditioner is formed to fit comfortably and controllably in a user's grasp while providing maximum contact with the selected body surface. The skin/hair conditioner includes an audio signal generator and a vibration mechanism to alert a user of a change in status of the conditioner. The interface conductors may be (1) smoothly rounded, (2) include teeth, (3) spherical or hemispherical (4) include multiple rounded nodules. The housings for the conditioner may be (1) elongated and somewhat flattened, (2) of elongated cylindrical shape, or (3) of a compact configuration similar to a door knob. The interface conductors and conditioning system may have a releasable latch, and spring arrangements for ejecting the interface conductor when the latch is released.

主权项

1. A hand-held skin/hair conditioner comprising:
a housing having a front end and a hand-engaging surface; a front end electrode connected to said front end of said housing; a power source contained within said housing; an electrical system connected to said power source, and said front electrode for conditioning and controlling current supplied to said front end electrode; at least first and second interchangeable interface conductors selectively slidably attachable to said front end electrode by a tongue and groove configuration and electrically connectable with said front end electrode, said at least first and second interface conductors having significantly different physical configurations for compatible engagement with different parts of a user's anatomy; wherein said housing is also configured for ease and convenience in treating various parts of the user's anatomy, and wherein said housing has an elongated flattened configuration.
