METHOD AND KIT FOR THE TREATMENT OF COSMETIC SKIN CONDITIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of a selected area of the skin and/or subcutaneous tissue, and in particular for the cosmetic treatment of skin conditions such as regional fat deposits including cellulite, comprising exposing the selected area to a static magnetic field having a field intensity in the range about 100 Gauss to about 2000 Gauss. The invention is further concerned with a kit for treating a selected area of skin and/or subcutaneous tissue, and in particular for the treatment of regional fat deposits including cellulite. The kit includes a device comprising a static magnetic field source which, in use, is applied to the selected area of the skin and/or subcutaneous tissue and a topical composition adapted to be applied to the skin at or adjacent the selected area. The kit preferably further includes a device comprising at least one alternative energy form selected from the group comprising light, ultrasound, active massage, heat, compression, electrotherapy and combinations thereof.
