Abstract

An article of clothing (14), such as shorts (2), shirts (7), leggings (10), arm sleeves (11), etc., having an outer layer of material (3) and an inner non-permeable liner (1) that either temporarily attaches to the outer layer by a temporary attachment means (15) or permanently attaches to the outer layer by a permanent attachment means (16). The inner non-permeable liner prevents topical creams applied to a user's skin from evaporating off of the user's skin. The inner non-permeable liner is available in different shapes to cover the different areas of the skin that patients have hair removed from. The outer layer is preferably made out of a material having elastomeric qualities that will ensure that the non-permeable liner is pressed firmly against the skin of a user. The outer perimeter (13) of the non-permeable liner may have a raised edge (4) and/or elastic (5) to ensure that the any cream applied to the skin of a user does not escape out of the sides of the non-permeable liner.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to articles of clothing and more particularly, clothing having an inner non-permeable material that covers and prevents topical creams that are applied to a user's skin from staining clothes and from evaporating from the user's skin.[0002]Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses laser light to permanently remove unwanted hair from the human body. Laser hair removal works by passing a light beam through the skin. The laser targets dark pigments, called melanin, located in hair follicles. When the light beam hits a hair follicle, intense heat created by the light beam destroys the hair follicle. To be effective, laser hair removal requires multiple treatments over an extended period of time. A downside to laser hair removal is the pain caused by the laser. Patients undergoing laser hair removal are prescribed a topical anesthetic, which is a numbing cream that the patients must apply to the skin on the area to be treat...
