Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for performing aesthetic treatments.
  • the apparatuses that comprise a plurality of sources which are capable of emitting light radiation including in the ultraviolet range are universally known as tanning lamps.
  • the intensity of the light beam changes and hence the effects on the user's skin change.
  • ointments, gels, oils and the like are usually used which can act to stimulate the production of melanin and are thus able to boost the intensity of the tan that can be obtained from the treatment.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for performing aesthetic treatments, which is capable of optimizing the results that can be achieved by a tanning treatment.
  • an object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for performing aesthetic treatments which stimulates the production of at least one of the physiological substances chosen from among melanin, keratin, hyaluronic acids, collagen and ceramides.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for performing aesthetic treatments which favors absorption by the skin of substances that are adapted to its protection, moisturisation, stimulation of the production of melanin, in general which prepare for tanning and are adapted to prevent dry out and damage to the skin itself.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for performing aesthetic treatments which is low cost, easily and practically implemented and safely applied.
  • an apparatus for performing aesthetic treatments comprising at least one light source that emits ultraviolet radiation in the direction of at least one portion of the user's skin, characterized in that it comprises at least one second light source that faces the user's skin and operates on a wavelength comprised between 500 nm and 900 nm, the light beam projected by said source stimulating the user's skin to produce at least one of the physiological substances chosen from among melanin, keratin, hyaluronic acids, collagen and ceramides.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a possible embodiment of an apparatus for performing aesthetic treatments according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of a different possible embodiment of the apparatus for performing aesthetic treatments according to the invention
  • Figure 3 is a functional block diagram of the apparatus for performing aesthetic treatments, according to the invention.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates an apparatus for performing aesthetic treatments which comprises at least one light source 2 that emits ultraviolet radiation in the direction of at least one portion of the user's skin, generally referred to as tanning lamps.
  • tanning lamps which differ in the different power of the light beam emitted: currently the main distinction is between high pressure lamps (which enable a strong tan in a short time, but are mainly adapted to skins that are already tanned or have a low tendency to burn) and low pressure lamps (with which the time necessary to obtain an evident tan is rather long, and which can treat very fair skins, which burn easily).
  • the apparatus 1, according to the invention comprises at least one second light source 3 that faces toward the user's skin.
  • the second source 3 emits, in the direction of at least one portion of the user's skin, a light beam with a wavelength comprised between 500 nm and 900 nm, an interval value that is adapted to stimulate the skin to produce at least one of the physiological substances chosen from among melanin, keratin, hyaluronic acids, collagen and ceramides.
  • melanin or more properly melanins, are biological molecules that are common in animals, plants and protists, with different functions, the best-known of which (but not the only one) is the pigmentary property, i.e. which confers an own coloring on structure.
  • Dermal melanin is produced by melanocytes which are found in the bottom layer of the epidermis. When they are exposed to the light, and in particular to ultraviolet radiation (UV), melanocytes, due to the mediation of neurons of the nervous system, produce melanin.
  • UV ultraviolet radiation
  • Keratin is a filamentary protein that is rich in sulfur, is very stable and resistant, and is contained in amino acid residues of cysteine.
  • This protein is produced by keratinocytes and it is the main constituent of the horny layer of the epidermis, nails and hair.
  • Hyaluronic acids are some of the fundamental components of connective tissues in humans and other mammals, and they give the skin the specific properties of resistance and maintenance of shape.
  • a deficiency thereof leads to weakening of the skin, thus accelerating the formation of wrinkles and blemishes; such deficiency increases with the advance of age.
  • Collagen is the main protein of the connective fabric of animals and humans.
  • collagen is the essential active ingredient for activating the repair processes of almost all the tissues of the human body.
  • Ceramides are a family of lipid molecules which are found in high concentration in cellular membranes.
  • carrier lipids are fatty substances the function of which is to cement the cells that make up the horny layer (the topmost of the skin) and protect the epidermis.
  • ceramides fill the space between one cell and the next, thus building a barrier that prevents the loss of moisture, thus ensuring elasticity and softness.
  • the barrier formed by ceramides weakens and loses thickness.
  • the second light source 3 comprises at least one photoemitting diode 3 commercially known by the name LED (Light Emitting Diode).
  • the LEDs 3 are adapted to emit a light beam that can stimulate the absorption of topical pharmacological products, cosmetics and the like which are previously applied to the skin.
  • the action thereof by improving dermal drainage, by means of warming the ceramides, makes it possible to partially liberate the intercellular space, so that the topical products can penetrate faster through the keratinocytes.
  • Keratinocytes which are the predominant cell type present in the epidermis, are found in the horny layer, in the spinous layer and in the granular layer and they form the structural framework of the various strata of the epidermis.
  • the physiological substances i.e. keratin, melanin, hyaluronic acids, collagen, and ceramides, the production of which is stimulated by the action of the LEDs 3, allow the skin to absorb faster, and in a higher percentage, the active ingredients contained in the topical products that are applied. Furthermore, the stimulation of the light of the LEDs 3 creates a slight vasodilation and hence increases the activity of the follicles and of the sudoriferous glands, thereby ensuring a deep absorption of the topical products.
  • the apparatus comprises two devices 4 and 5.
  • the first device 4 is provided with at least one light source 2 that emits ultraviolet radiation of the type generally known as a tanning lamp.
  • the second device 5 is provided with at least one photoemitting diode 3 (or any other light source that is adapted to generate a light beam with similar optical and energy characteristics) that operates on a wavelength comprised between 500 nm and 900 ran.
  • a source adapted to emit a light beam with a wavelength comprised between 570 nm and 830 nm is considered preferable.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises a tanning bed, of the traditional type, which has at least one light source 2 that emits ultraviolet radiation, and at least one photoemitting diode 3.
  • the apparatus 1 can also comprise a tanning booth of the traditional type, which has at least one light source 2 that emits ultraviolet radiation, and at least one photoemitting diode 3.
  • an apparatus 1 that comprises a device that is adapted exclusively to tanning the face, or any other localized part of the human body, in which sources 2 of the traditional type for emitting UV rays can be combined with sources 3, in particular photoemitting diodes 3 that are adapted to emit light beams with a wavelength comprised between 500 nm and 900 nm.
  • the photoemitting diodes 3 can be activated before the ultraviolet sources 2, or they can be substantially active at the same time as them.
  • the optimal results are achieved by arranging the user at a distance comprised between 5 mm and 300 mm.
  • the photoemitting diodes 3 that are adapted to emit a light beam with a wavelength comprised between 500 nm and 900 nm, in order to stimulate the production of at least one of the physiological substances chosen from among melanin, keratin, hyaluronic acids, collagen and ceramides.
  • the exposure must be extended for a preset time, depending on the characteristics of the user's skin and on any previously existing tan.
  • the user's skin at this point will be particularly receptive (to ultraviolet radiation and to its tanning effect) following the previous exposure to the light of the photoemitting diodes 3.
  • the exposure of the user's skin to the light sources 2 occurs for periods of time that are substantially shorter than traditional tanning apparatuses, because in it the production of melanin, keratin, hyaluronic acids, collagen and ceramides has been previously stimulated by the light radiation emitted by the photoemitting diodes 3 and therefore obtaining a tan is faster and more intense and the tan can be obtained in a shorter time thus reducing the risk of excessive exposure of the skin to ultraviolet radiation.
  • the process can also comprise a preliminary step that consists in applying topical products to the user's skin, such as creams, gels, oils and the like, with functions chosen from among moisturisation, protection, stimulation of production and fixing of melanin, the absorption of these products being facilitated by the treatment with the LEDs 3.
  • topical products such as creams, gels, oils and the like, with functions chosen from among moisturisation, protection, stimulation of production and fixing of melanin, the absorption of these products being facilitated by the treatment with the LEDs 3.
  • an accessory step that consists in subjecting the user again to the beam emitted by the photoemitting diodes 3 in order to stimulate (before or after the subjection to ultraviolet radiation has finished) the production of keratin, hyaluronic acids, collagen and ceramides, in order to boost the moisturisation of the user's skin and the fixing of the tan.
  • the apparatus 1 for performing aesthetic treatments fully achieves the intended aim in that it makes it possible to optimize the results that can be obtained from a tanning treatment, by stimulating the production of melanin, keratin, hyaluronic acids, collagen and ceramides.
  • the LEDs 3 are adapted to emit a light beam that can stimulate the absorption of topical pharmacological products, cosmetics and the like, previously applied to the skin, with functions chosen from among moisturisation, protection, stimulation of production and fixing of melanin.
