  • Patent number: 7044938
    Abstract: Apparatus for skin treatment using abrasion lotion with particulate includes an appliance and an applicator. The appliance includes a motor for actuating the applicator by rotating or oscillating. The applicator includes a surface made from a substantially unresilient or inabsorbent material for impressing and urging the particulate upon the skin. In operation, the abrasion lotion is applied either on the surface of the applicator or directly to the skin, the surface placed against skin, and the motor activated. When in motion, the surface impresses particulate of the lotion upon the skin and urges the impressed particulate across the skin abrading and exfoliating it. The surface may include a field and a plurality of bosses disposed on it with channels between adjacent bosses, or a relief field. When the applicator is in motion, the bosses urge and push the abrasion lotion, and the relief field vectors particulate upon the skin.

  • Publication number: 20040015139
    Abstract: Apparatus for treating skin using abrasion lotion with particulate includes an appliance and an applicator. The appliance may include a motor for actuating the applicator, for example, by rotation or oscillation. The applicator may include an application surface for impressing and urging particulate upon skin when the surface is contacting skin and the motor is activated. The application surface may be made from a substantially unresilient material or a substantially inabsorbent material. To treat skin, abrasion lotion may be applied either on the surface of the applicator or directly on the skin. The surface may then be placed against skin, and the motor may be activated. When in motion, the application surface impresses particulate of the lotion upon the skin and urges the impressed particulate across the skin, thereby abrading and exfoliating the skin. The applicator may be moved over an area of the skin for complete treatment.
