M needles in fluid communication with said capsule; where M is greater than one; wherein said medicament is applied to said skin through at least one of said M needles either prior to or during said treatment, such that said medicament is applied in conjunction with said treatment.

An acoustic emission system for objectively measuring tactile skin attributes and methods of using same. The system includes: (A) Means for generating an acoustic emission signal from skin; (B) Means for collecting, storing and displaying said emission signal; (C) means for correlating said emission signal with an attribute of said skin; wherein said system is used as a clinical tool to evaluate efficacy of cosmetic skin care and/or cleansing products. A cosmetic product selection system is also provided which includes a cosmetic composition for reducing the appearance of undesirable skin attributes and an acoustic emission system associated with the composition. A method for assessing tactile skin attributes using an acoustic emission system, as well as of evaluating progress of the combat against the signs of undesirable skin attributes occurring over a period of time within which the composition is applied to an area of skin being monitored is provided.

The present invention provides a complementary three-step dermabrasion system that provides treatment for skin conditions such as acne scars, wound scars, and other visually unappealing skin disfigurements, which constitutes the following, (1) Dermal Resurfacing with an adhesive composition, (2) Dermal Polishing with a polishing composition, and (3) Dermal Regeneration with a collagen-building and cell-proliferative composition.

An anatomical socket is fashioned to attach to an amputated limb, which can be a median between the amputated limb and the prosthesis device. The method produces, based on specific measurements of a user, an anatomical socket that provides the user with cosmesis, a greater range of motion, a better gait and comfort. The socket has a low upper rim to allow for the greatest mobility of the hip joint. The socket is produced of a durable and smooth plastic. The socket fits in a secure, yet removable manner to the prosthesis. The method disclosed herein takes precise measurements of the wearer's limb to provide for optimal fitting and comfort.

The artificial skin consists of skeleton material and polysaccharide in the weight ratio of 0.1-30:1 as well as some supplementary material. The artificial skin in two kinds, with pores and without pores, may be used in the treatment of burns, wound, frostbite, ulcer and beauty treatment operation. Test shows that using the artificial skin to cover wound area can promote heat of the wound area, eliminate diffusate from the wound, prevent and treat bacteria infection, and reduce the irritation to skin. In addition, it has excellent flexibility and strength and may be uncovered from wound without pain produced.

The invention discloses a non-removing antibacterial skin suture for cosmetic surgery. The suture comprises a suture body. The suture is characterized in that: the suture body is made of human absorbable material; and when the suture body is made, a medicament with an inflammation diminishing effect and/or a medicament with a pain easing effect are added, and the added medicament is 0.01 to 10 percent based on the weight of the suture body. The suture for suturing the wound eliminates infection, avoids frequently changing the medicament, can reduce suture knot response and reduce scars, and can be automatically absorbed in tissues; the suture can promote wound healing, prevent infection and reduce scars; a large amount of clinical application proves that the suture has a satisfying effect, reduces the subsequent visit times of a patient, and avoids the pain of removing the suture; and the suture has a sterilization effect, realizes sterilization in an incision, and has a better antibacterial effect.

The invention relates to a microneedle patch and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a biodegradable microneedle patch inserted into the skin painlessly. The microneedle patch is characterized in that a microneedle contains a certain proportion of cross-linked sodium hyaluronate or/and cross-linked collagen and a certain analgesic material, so that the technical problems of long-actingslow release of the microneedle, pain during insertion and hardness are solved; and the microneedle patch can be used in the fields of biomedicine, medical cosmetology and the like.

Intradermal needles are commonly used in cosmetic procedure to improve the skin, for example to activate cellular processes such as induction and regeneration of some of the superficial levels of skin, such as collagen. The present invention discloses an intradermal needle comprising: a shaft, an insertion tip and a handle wherein handle depth is greater than shaft gauge so that the handle is spaced apart from skin when inserted allowing the intradermal needle to be easily inserted and removed.

The invention relates to a method for reconstructing face skin of an unknown skull by conducting partial least squares recursive in a tensor space. The method divides a whole skull and a whole face skin tissue in a training sample into two four-order tensors respectively, the skull and the face skin are transferred to different tensor feature spaces through tensor decomposition, and recursive modeling of face skin tensor features on skull tensor features is conducted according to genders by using the partial least squares technology. For a target skull to be reconstructed, the target skull is transferred to a skull tensor feature space in the same method as the training sample, corresponding face skin tensor features are obtained by using a built recursive model, and a target face skin is reconstructed according to tensor features. The method fully reflects essence relation that the skull decides a face, and an ill-posed problem of lacking solving data in traditional reconstruction based on a statistic model is solved. The method has important application value in the fields of criminal investigation, archaeology, forensic anthropology, medical surgery, facial beautifying plastic surgery and the like.

The invention is a device capable of performing an unspecified number of treatments on any part of the body, locally or generally and at high speed, wherein the patient does not come into contact with vapours or fluids, whether in manual or automatic operating mode with pre-programmed treatments, using to this end contrasting applications as an essential base. The patient receives the contrasting applications through so-called contrast modules (17) made of impermeable, flexible and heat-conducting material, designed to suit each of the areas of the patient's body to be treated. The fluid, previously heated or cooled to the appropriate temperature, circulates through the contrast modules, transmitting the different temperatures therethrough (cold and hot applications). The device includes, for operation thereof, a thermostat control module having one, two, three or more independent circuits.

A method of determining a cosmetic skin attribute of a person is provided. The method includes obtaining a color channel image of a person's skin, analyzing the color channel image with a computer using entropy statistics to obtain an entropy value, and then determining a cosmetic skin attribute for the person based on the entropy value.
