  • Publication number: 20160310757
    Abstract: A wearable hands-free apparatus for providing phototherapy treatment to a number of facial skin related conditions includes an adjustably sizeable headband for pivotally supporting an adjustably positionable light emitting face mask in spaced, opposing relation to the user's face. The face mask includes a light emitting plate fitted with an array of light generating sources, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, or infrared lights that emit light within a particular wavelength range correlating with the treatment of one or more skin conditions. The face mask is vented on opposite sides and, in a preferred embodiment, is removably secured to a pivoting dovetail hinge member on the front of the headband to allow selective interchanging of different face masks for particular skin treatments, as well as easy adjustment of the face mask towards and away from the user's face.

  • Publication number: 20140350643
    Abstract: A wearable hands-free apparatus for providing phototherapy treatment to a number of hair, scalp and skin related conditions includes a supporting member for pivotally supporting a light emitting plate in spaced, opposing relation to the user's head. The light emitting plate is fitted with an array of light generating sources, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, or infrared lights, that emit light within a particular wavelength range correlating with the treatment of one or more specific hair, scalp and/or skin-related conditions. The light emitting plate is specifically designed to conform to the shape of the human face or scalp for providing complete, uniform and consistent light coverage to the respective areas.

  • Publication number: 20130041432
    Abstract: A device for promoting eyebrow hair growth includes an array of light generating sources, such as LEDs, laser diodes and IPLs, which are housed within a brow plate, for providing evenly distributed light to a user's eyebrows at a low level output wavelength suitable for stimulating hair growth. This photo-biostimulation process promotes hair growth in the directed region by producing an increase in ATP and keratin production, enhancement in blood flow and circulation, as well as an increase in collagen production. Temple arm members with corresponding ear pieces or a headband are used to support the device on a user's head. The light generating sources may be powered by an internal power source, such as a rechargeable battery or disposable batteries, located within the headband or temple arm members, or by an external power source, such as a plug used in connection with an AC outlet.

  • Patent number: 8252033
    Abstract: A wearable hands-free apparatus for providing phototherapy treatment to a number of skin related conditions includes a head unit (e.g., a headset, headphones, headband, or helmet unit) with earphones to allow the user to listen to an audio program during a treatment. The head unit supports a light emitting canopy band that is fitted with an array of light generating sources, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, or infrared lights, that emit light within a particular wavelength range correlating with the treatment of one or more specific skin-related conditions. The light emitting canopy band is specifically designed for providing complete, uniform and consistent light coverage to a user's face.
