  • Patent number: 10912428
    Abstract: A method and device for non-abrasively cleansing and exfoliating skin in combination with a cleansing solution. A cylindrical housing comprises a base for engagement with a fluid source and a vacuum source and a skin interface positioned on an end opposing the base and configured to contact and traverse a surface of the skin. The skin interface comprises non-abrasive, or rounded, smooth surfaces for contacting the skin. A combination of variable cleansing fluid delivery to the tip and vacuum pressure removal cleanses and exfoliates skin tissue or debris.

  • Patent number: 7503926
    Abstract: A personal therapy or sauna compartment is formed with a base, that has a support bed on the interior of the base in which a person can lie. A cover is provided over the base and covers the body of a person lying in the bed, with the head of the person outside of the cover. The bed is supported above massage shower heads that provide massage water impingement upwardly against the back of the person on the bed. Infrared heaters are placed in the cover, and shower heads in the cover provide for comfort and showering the person lying on the bed. A mist head is provided for adding in liquid forms of vitamins, hormones, and other therapeutic elements capable of being absorbed by the skin. The cover has large translucent side panels for the majority of the sides of the panels, and is supported on a central spine frame pivoted at a foot end to the base, with a hoop at its open or head end. The cover hinges to open and close relative to the base.
