CHEMILUMINESCENT TREATMENT OF ACNE

摘要

The present invention provides the ability to treat acne with a device that can be worn by a patient for extended time periods. The device can, for example, enable the delivery of light for time periods that are longer than one might want to sit still in front of a stationary light source. The device is a flexible container that may be fitted to parts of the body to be treated. An example of such a flexible container is a mask for the face. The mask covers the face and has a strap to hold it to the face. The mask is located relative to a light source generating light by chemiluminescence. The mask is worn for a period of time needed to provide the desired amount of light energy to the issue.
