Abstract

An applicator including an applicator surface configured to apply one or more formulas, one or more reservoirs configured to hold the one or more formulas, a condition sensor configured to detect one or more conditions as the applicator surface moves across skin, and one or more radiating elements, where the one or more radiating elements are configured to emit one or more radiation treatments into the skin.

Claims (49)

1 . An applicator comprising:

an applicator surface configured to apply one or more formulas;

one or more reservoirs configured to hold the one or more formulas;

one or more sensors, comprising:

a condition sensor configured to determine one or more conditions as the applicator surface moves across skin; and

a position sensor configured to determine a position of the applicator on the skin;

one or more radiating elements, wherein the one or more radiating elements are configured to emit one or more radiation treatments into the skin, and wherein the one or more radiation treatments include emitting one or more beams of radiation from the one or more radiating elements;

a tag configured to store and communicate information associated with when to replace the applicator, an amount of the one or more formulas inside the applicator, or an expiration date of the one or more formulas inside the applicator; and

a processor configured to:

with the condition sensor, detect the one or more conditions on the skin;

with the condition sensor, determine a location of the one or more conditions based on the position of the applicator; and

direct the one or more radiating elements toward the location of the one or more conditions by moving the one or more beams of radiation from a starting location to the location of the one more conditions.

2 . The applicator of claim 1 , wherein the one or more radiating elements comprise one or more antennas.

3 . The applicator of claim 1 , wherein the applicator is configured to apply the one or more radiation treatments to one or more areas of formula treated skin.

4 . The applicator of claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to adjust one or more of a power, an intensity, a frequency and an amplitude of the one or more beams of radiation emitted from the one or more radiating elements based on the one or more determined conditions; and

wherein the one or more beams of radiation comprise emitting a central beam of radiation, wherein the central beam extends to a first depth.

5 . The applicator of claim 4 ,

wherein the one or more beams of radiation further comprise emitting one or more lobe beams, wherein at least one lobe of the one or more lobe beams extends to a second depth;

wherein the one or more lobe beams extend from the central beam; and

wherein the processor is further configured to direct the one or more lobe beams independently and adjust one or more of the power, intensity, frequency, and amplitude of the one or more lobe beams independently.

6 . The applicator of claim 5 , wherein the first depth is deeper than the second depth.

7 . The applicator of claim 5 , wherein the second depth is deeper than the first depth.

8 . The applicator of claim 5 , wherein the each of the one or more lobe beams extends to a different depth.

9 . The applicator of claim 4 , wherein the one or more radiation treatments further comprise emitting the central beam at a first intensity substantially equally to one or more layers of the skin.

10 . The applicator of claim 1 , wherein the one or more radiation treatments comprise:

emitting a plurality of beams of radiation at a first intensity; and

overlapping the plurality of beams of radiation, so that an overlap of the plurality of beams receives radiation energy at a second intensity.

11 . The applicator of claim 10 , wherein the first intensity is higher than the second intensity.

12 . The applicator of claim 10 , wherein the first intensity is lower than the second intensity.

13 . A system of applying a radiation treatment, the system comprising:

the applicator of claim 1 ; and

a dispensing device configured to couple with the applicator, the dispensing device comprising:

a processor configured to:

direct the dispensing device to apply the one or more radiation treatments; and

direct the dispensing device to apply the one or more formulas to the skin.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the system further comprises a communication device communicatively coupled with the dispensing device.

15 . A method of using the system of claim 13 , wherein the method comprises:

applying the one or more formulas to the skin; and

applying the one or more radiation treatments to the skin.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:

emitting a central beam of radiation at a first depth.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the method further comprises:

directing the central beam of radiation and the one or more lobes of radiation to the one or more conditions.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:

emitting one or more lobes of radiation at a second depth.

19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:

emitting a plurality of beams of radiation at a first intensity; and

overlapping the plurality of beams of radiation, so that an overlap of the plurality of beams receives radiation energy at a second intensity.
