Abstract
An apparatus, for simultaneous or selective treatment of an area of the skin and adjacent subcutaneous structure of a patient utilizing photo energy and therapeutic heat, which includes a plurality of juxtaposed diodes. Each diode has a longitudinal axis and is capable of projecting a non-coherent cone of light which overlaps the cone of light from each juxtaposed diode so that the light completely covers the treatment area. A flexible pad or appliance holds the diodes in juxtaposed position with each other. Each is held in contact with the skin and has a longitudinal axis which is in substantially perpendicular relationship to the skin. A resistor heats each diode, which acts as a heat sink, so that the treatment area of the skin and the adjacent subcutaneous structure of the mammal receive light and thermal treatment simultaneously. An adjustable control varies the light intensity of the diodes and the amount of heat generated by the resistor in a selected and controlled manner. Indicia is provided for visibly indicating the setting of the control means so that repetitive treatment is possible. A grid system can be established over at least a portion of the surface of the skin of a population of patients to establish a database for establishing treatment parameters for future patients.
Claims
AAMMEENNDDEEDD CCLLAAIIMMSS
[rec :eeiivveedd bbyy tthhee IInntteerrnational Bureau on 21 July 1995 (21.07.95); orig giinnaall < claims 16 and 20 amended; remaining claims unchanged (2 pages)] heating each of the diode so that each diode becomes a heat sink that conducts therapeutic heat to the skin and adjacent subcutaneous structure at the same time the skin and adjacent subcutaneous structure is irradiated with the overlapping cones of light.
16. A method, as claimed in claim 15, further including: simultaneously performing the steps of claim 15 on a plurality of skin areas and the adjacent subcutaneous structures of each skin area respectively.
17. A method, as claimed in claim 15, including the further step of: holding the diodes in firm contact with the skin by use of an appliance.
18. A method, as claimed in claim 15, including the further step of: recording information concerning the specific body area of the patient being treated and the results of such treatment.
19. A method, as claimed in claim 18, including the further step of: using the recorded information for determining future treatment for specific needs of the patient to be treated.
20. A method of determining a desirable photo-thermal treatment for the needs of a patient, said method comprising: providing a grid system over at least a portion of the body surface of the patient to be
treated wherein each area in the grid system represents a particular skin area on the patient; providing unique nomenclature for each area in the grid system; providing treatment to a population of patients for a variety of needs in accordance with the steps set forth in claim 15; recording information concerning the specific body area of each patient treated and the results of each treatment; tabulating the information to determine the body areas which provide the most desirable response to treatment for specific needs; and correlating the nomenclature for each area with effective treatment for the patient based on the tabulated information.
21. A method, as claimed in claim 20, wherein: each patient is of the same species.
22. A method, as claimed in claim 20, wherein: each patient is of the same sex.
23. A method, as claimed in claim 20, wherein: each patient is human.
