International Classification:

F21V 23/04

US Classification:

362276

Abstract:

Embodiments are described for a light-based dermal enhancing apparatus and methods of use. In general, the dermal enhancing apparatus includes elongated housing having opposite top and bottom ends. The housing has a translucent outer shell that defines a translucent window at the top end of the housing that is capable of permitting passage of light therethrough from one or more treatment light emitting diodes (LEDs) located in the housing. The housing may also include an inner shell that provides an interior cavity in which the interior components of the dermal enhancing apparatus are located. In addition to the treatment LEDs, a tube with a reflective lumen is located in the housing to afford a passage between the window and the LEDs. In some embodiments, the outer shell may have an elongated indicator guide that extends from the translucent window towards the bottom end of the housing so that refracted light from the light passing through the window illuminates the indicator guide.

Abstract:

Embodiments of light-based enhancing apparatuses and methods of use are described. In one embodiment, the light based-enhancing apparatus may comprise a toothbrush that includes a light source, a head with a plurality of bristles (and/or other materials that may be used to brush a tooth such as, e.g., a sponge, plastic prongs or resilient massaging rods/tips) and a window so that light emitted from the light source can pass through the window. In another embodiment, the light-based enhancing apparatus may comprise a razor or an electric razor that has a head with at least one blade and a light source that is adapted for emitting light proximal to the head of the razor.
