Abstract

Phototherapy systems comprising a therapeutic lamp platform for radiant lamps such as LEDs disposed in an assembly including a reflective surface facing towards a patient and a plurality of light apertures substantially aligned with the LEDs for communicating lamp radiation from the lamps to a user. The lamps and associated circuitry are disposed so that the reflective surface is relatively smooth and seamless towards the patient. The walls have a malleable rigidity for flexible adjustability relative to the user and, the device is mounted to the user with a frame.

Claims (21)

1. A phototherapy device comprising:

a wearable facial mask including a plurality of radiant lamps emitting radiant energy at two or more wavelengths and an external reflective surface directed towards a user treatment area, the external reflective surface including a plurality of radiant energy apertures, each of the plurality of radiant energy apertures directly aligned with a respective one of the plurality of radiant lamps and extending through the reflective surface to communicate the radiant energy from the plurality of radiant lamps through the plurality of radiant energy apertures to the user treatment area, and wherein the reflective surface is further formed to disperse the radiant energy over the user treatment area; and

a frame supporting the facial mask on a user and positioning the facial mask on the user, the frame positioning the external reflective surface towards the user treatment area and spacing the external reflective surface from the user treatment area at a distance covering a complete nose of the user and spaced from the complete nose of the user providing ventilation and clearance between the external reflective surface and the complete nose of the user, and the frame including an eye protection lens,

wherein the facial mask includes an eye slot aligned with the eye protection lens to provide the user with a field of view external to the facial mask.

2. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the external reflective surface is configured to reflect radiant energy reflected from the user treatment area to the external reflective surface to further disperse the reflected radiant energy back to the user treatment area.

3. The phototherapy device according to claim 2 , wherein the external reflective surface is flexible and has a concave arcuate configuration relative to a face of the user.

4. The phototherapy device according to claim 1 , wherein the eye slot is a single elongated eye slot aligned with the eye protection lens.

5. A phototherapy device comprising:

a wearable facial mask including a plurality of radiant lamps emitting radiant energy at two or more wavelengths and an external reflective surface directed towards a user treatment area, the external reflective surface including a plurality of radiant energy apertures, each of the plurality of radiant energy apertures directly aligned with a respective one of the plurality of radiant lamps and extending through the reflective surface to communicate the radiant energy from the plurality of radiant lamps through the plurality of radiant energy apertures to the user treatment area, and wherein the reflective surface is further formed to disperse the radiant energy over the user treatment area; and

a frame supporting the facial mask on a user and positioning the facial mask on the user, the frame positioning the external reflective surface towards the user treatment area and spacing the external reflective surface from the user treatment area at a distance covering a complete nose of the user and spaced from the complete nose of the user providing ventilation and clearance between the external reflective surface and the complete nose of the user, and the frame including an eye protector,

wherein the platform includes an eye slot aligned with the eye protector to provide the user with a field of view external to the facial mask.

6. The phototherapy device according to claim 5 , wherein the external reflective surface is flexible and has a concave arcuate configuration relative to a face of the user.

7. The phototherapy device according to claim 5 , wherein the frame is an eyeglass frame.

8. The phototherapy device according to claim 7 , wherein the eye protector is attached to the eyeglass frame.

9. The phototherapy device according to claim 5 , wherein the eye slot is a single elongated eye slot aligned with the eye protector.

10. A phototherapy device comprising:

a facial mask including a plurality of radiant lamps emitting radiant energy at two or more wavelengths and an external reflective surface directed towards a user treatment area, the external reflective surface including a plurality of radiant energy apertures, each of the plurality of radiant energy apertures directly aligned with a respective one of the plurality of radiant lamps and extending through the reflective surface to communicate the radiant energy from the plurality of radiant lamps through the plurality of radiant energy apertures to the user treatment area, and wherein the reflective surface is further formed to disperse the radiant energy over the user treatment area; and

a frame supporting the facial mask on a user and positioning the facial mask on the user, the frame positioning the external reflective surface towards the user treatment area and spacing the external reflective surface from the user treatment area at a distance covering a complete nose of the user and spaced from the complete nose of the user providing ventilation and clearance between the external reflective surface and the complete nose of the user, and the frame including one or more eye protector covers, the one or more eye protector covers completely covering the user's eyes and blocking the radiant energy emitted from the plurality of radiant lamps.

11. The phototherapy device according to claim 10 , wherein the external reflective surface is configured to reflect radiant energy reflected from the user treatment area to the external reflective surface to further disperse the reflected radiant energy back to the user treatment area.

12. The phototherapy device according to claim 11 , wherein the external reflective surface is flexible and has a concave arcuate configuration relative to a face of the user.

13. The phototherapy device according to claim 10 , wherein the frame is an eyeglass frame.
