  • Publication number: 20160256366
    Abstract: A cosmetic treatment method, and a device therefor, are provided that allow for cosmetic treatment of cosmetic disorders, caused by chronological age, environmental factors, changes in physiological functions of skin, such as psoriasis, dermatitis, acne, cellulites, and viral and/or bacteriological attacks. The device comprises a nitric oxide (NO) eluting polymer arranged to contact the area to be cosmetically treated, such that a cosmetic dose of nitric oxide is eluted from said area.

  • Patent number: 9427605
    Abstract: A cosmetic treatment device includes a nitric oxide (NO) eluting polymer, a carrier, and a proton donor enclosed in a container that keeps the proton donor separate from the nitric oxide eluting polymer until the device is used. When the container is opened, proton donor contacts the polymer, causing the elution of nitric oxide from the polymer.

  • Publication number: 20080069905
    Abstract: A therapeutic treatment device is provided, which comprises a compound comprising a drug and a nitric oxide (NO) eluting polymer arranged to contact a treatment site in or on a body. The device is acting as a booster for drug eluting patches, e.g. pharmaceuticals, vitamins, nicotin, nitroglycerin, whereby with advantage two therapeutic treatments, of significant value, are combined in one treatment. A synergetic effect is achieved by such devices because NO that is eluted from the device boosts the effect of the drug, as the treatment site is more susceptible to said drug by the effect of the eluted NO.
