Problems solved by technology
The main cause of acne stems from an abnormally high amount of bacteria, mainly propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), resulting in inflammatory acne.
It usually appears on the face, chest, back and limbs and can produce life-long scars, both emotionally and physically.
Hand-held therapy devices for delivering electromagnetic radiation are known in the art, however, they are quite expensive and typically limited to one specific use (and one specific wavelength spectrum).
Unlike use in a medical setting, the manufacturers of such devices are unable to insure that users follow safety instructions and utilize safety equipment, such as eye protection, provided.

Embodiment Construction
[0032]Disclosed and illustrated generally at 20 in the Figures is a hand held device in accordance with the present invention. The device includes a head 22 and a handle 24. The head 22 of the device includes a faceplate 23 and a baseplate 25. Faceplate 23 comprises an energy source 30, a substrate 57 for supporting energy source 30, and can have an outer surface 26. Substrate 57 and outer surface 26 each define at least one aperture 28 for allowing the distribution of a material 38 from the outer surface 26, as described further below. Substrate 57 can comprise a printed circuit board (PCB) or other structure functionally equivalent thereto. Outer surface 26 is comprised of a generally transparent material which allows maximal transmission of light from energy source 30 to the skin of the user during operation of device 20. Outer surface 26 can be manufactured from such suitable materials as glass, polycarbonate, Macrolon™, and the like. Outer surface 26 of faceplate 23 can further...

Abstract
The invention is directed to a therapy device, including a body, an energy source disposed on the body for emitting a desired wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, and a proximity sensor for sensing proximity of the device to a desired surface. Also disclosed are a material dispensing system disposed on the body for dispensing a desired material for use with the device and accessories and compositions used with the therapy device, including interchangeable energy source-containing heads and interchangeable material containers. Methods for using the therapy device are also disclosed.
Description
