Light therapy platform system

Abstract

Phototherapy systems comprising a therapeutic lamp platform for radiant lamps such as LEDs disposed in an assembly comprising a first wall to which the lamps are affixed thereto and a second wall, closer to the patient, spaced from the first wall wherein the lamps are recessed relative thereto. The second wall comprises a reflective surface facing towards a patient and a plurality of light apertures substantially aligned with the LEDs on the first wall for communicating lamp radiation from the lamps to a user. The lamps and associated circuitry are disposed between the first and second wall 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. The device is mounted to the user with a frame comprising an eyeglass frame or goggles including lenses for shielding the user's eyes from lamp radiation.

Description

[0001]This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 324,453, filed Jul. 7, 2014, by Jay Tapper et al., which is a division of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 604,012, filed Sep. 5, 2012, now U.S. Pat. No. 8,771,328, Issued Jul. 8, 2014, by Jay Tapper et al., which claims priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 532,140, filed Sep. 8, 2011, by Jay Tapper et al., all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.FIELD[0002]The present embodiments relate to devices and methods for delivering light-based skin therapy treatments for improving skin health, such as anti-aging enhancement or acne prevention, using light-emitting diode (LED) light therapy, although other types of light radiating sources can be used.BACKGROUND[0003]Certain light spectrums emitted by LEDs (blue or red) are known to be therapeutic for skin treatment against maladies such as acne, or are beneficial to inhibit skin aging. However, there ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The system provides a comfortable, adjustable, and safe light-based therapy that maximizes light exposure while minimizing user discomfort and risk, offering customizable treatments based on individual skin conditions and needs.

Problems solved by technology

Currently available at-home, consumer usable products on the market are fixed to one-size and / or usually have to be hand-held; which generally have not proven satisfactory for providing the best or desired light dispersion.

Prior known light therapy devices, particularly masks, have suffered from problems relating to the exposure of the LEDs and the associated circuitry to power the LEDs to contact by users.

In addition, any such engagement can be dangerous to patients who are exposed to the sharp or hot edges of the LEDs and the associated circuitry.

The exposure of detailed circuitry presents an intimidating and unpleasant experience when the therapy requires several minutes of time for completion and the mask is disposed relatively close to the face, often causing an uncomfortable, claustrophobic sensation over time to the patient.
