An exothermic natural massage shell includes a natural bivalve shell comprising a first half and a second half adhered together with an adhesive to form a hollow chamber. An aperture is formed in the first half to provide a portal to the hollow chamber of the bivalve shell. A reactant is disposed inside the hollow chamber of the bivalve shell. The reactant may be a reactive powder mixture disposed inside a fluid-permeable pouch. Combining the reactant with an activator inside the hollow chamber of the bivalve shell causes an exothermic reaction that heats the bivalve shell and maintains the bivalve shell at a substantially constant elevated temperature for a duration of time. The adhesive adhering the first shell half to the second shell half includes a first elastomeric polymer bonding agent with balanced coefficient of expansion properties and a second flexible resin sealant that makes the adhesive moisture-proof.

Magnetically Assisted Dermatological Treatment Method

Номер: US20150038884A1
Принадлежит:

A magnetically assisted dermatological treatment method incorporates a pre-treatment protocol, a magnetically assisted dermatological procedure, and a post treatment protocol in order to assist in the displacement of magnetically active pigments trapped between the dermis and epidermis layers of a patient's skin. The method utilizes the pre-treatment protocol to condition the patient's skin, loosening up the pigments that are trapped between the dermis and the epidermis through magnetically assisted means. After which, a laser photothermolytic procedure is administered by a magnetically assisted light emitting apparatus which attracts and dislodges pigments absorption and magnetic properties. Finally, after the laser phototherapy, the patient's treated area undergoes a post treatment protocol which assists in the healing and recovery process while additionally assisting in preventing the pigments from becoming trapped again within the dermis and epidermis layers. 1. A magnetically assisted dermatological treatment regimen comprises the steps of:providing a magnetically assisted dermatological treatment regimen comprises a pre-treatment protocol, a magnetically assisted dermatological procedure, and a post-treatment protocol;providing a patient's dermatological condition;providing a magnetically active compound;evaluating the patient seeking the magnetically assisted dermatological treatment regimen;initiating the pre-treatment protocol;administering a treatment session of the magnetically assisted dermatological procedure;initiating the post-treatment protocol; andreevaluating the patient after the post-treatment protocol.2.
