AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method and apparatus for treating and preventing a skin condition called pseudofolliculitis barbae, which is caused by shaving and can result in pain and skin damage. The method involves applying a cosmetic product to the affected area, using a stone grooving apparatus to dislodge embedded ingrown hairs, and exfoliating inflamed skin particles. The apparatus includes a head with a first portion and a second portion, and a handle with an elongated member. The technical effect of this patent is to provide an effective and long-term solution for treating and preventing pseudofolliculitis barbae by reducing the appearance of ingrown hairs and exfoliating inflamed skin particles.

Problems solved by technology

In some situations, daily shaving for personal grooming may result in pseudofolliculitis barbae.

This often causes problems because the conventional strategy does not provide long term solutions.

Additionally, the conventional strategy fails to prevent chronic pseudofolliculitis barbae.
