<p>A device (10) is provided for heating, cooling and moisturizing the skin. The device (10) includes a handle (12) and a thermally conductive head (14) secured to the handle (12). The head (14) includes a thermally conductive contact plate (54) which is thermally isolated from the head (14). One or more Peltier effect devices (52) are provided for heating or cooling the contact plate (54) depending upon the polarity of the current. The head (14) and handle (12) function as a heat sink for dissipating heat generated by the Peltier effect devices (52). A fan (60) is also provided within the head (14) for heat dissipation purposes. A reservoir (70,71,72) filled with a moisturizing liquid is mounted to the head (14) and positioned adjacent to the contact plate (54). The reservoir (70,71,72) includes a permeable wall (70) which conforms to the surface of the body to which it is applied.</p> |
