Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for treating ailments with cannabidiol (CBD) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) are not synergistically combined, limiting their therapeutic potential when used separately.

Innovation Solution

A method and kit that apply cannabidiol to tissue while irradiating it with laser light of a wavelength sufficient to cause absorption, using a handheld laser tool emitting light in the 800-870 nm range, specifically 830 nm, for deep penetration and therapeutic benefits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of stationary object

If CBD oil is applied topically to the skin, then it provides therapeutic benefits for superficial ailments, but it cannot penetrate deeply enough to treat deeper tissue ailments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepenetration depthVSAvoidtherapeutic effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines LLLT laser device with CBD oil application in a single integrated system. The laser component provides deep tissue penetration capability while the CBD oil provides therapeutic compounds, merging both mechanisms into one treatment device that addresses both superficial and deep tissue ailments simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses laser wavelength as a controllable parameter to achieve optimal penetration depth. By selecting specific laser wavelengths that match CBD absorption spectra, the system maximizes both penetration depth and therapeutic effectiveness, transforming the treatment approach from purely topical to deep-tissue capable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Length of stationary object

If LLLT is used alone to treat deep tissue ailments, then it provides deep penetration, but it lacks the synergistic therapeutic benefits of combining with CBD

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepenetration depthVSAvoidtherapeutic versatility
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges LLLT laser therapy with CBD oil application into a single integrated system. This combination allows the device to provide both deep tissue penetration capability of laser and the synergistic therapeutic benefits of CBD, creating a versatile treatment platform that addresses multiple types of ailments simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Ease of manufacture

If separate treatments are used for CBD and LLLT, then each can be optimized independently, but they require separate applications and equipment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates CBD oil application mechanism and LLLT laser emission system into a single handheld device. This merger allows both treatments to be administered simultaneously through one application, reducing the need for multiple separate equipment pieces and simplifying the treatment protocol while maintaining the therapeutic benefits of both modalities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

This combination enhances tissue penetration of CBD, providing synergistic therapeutic effects such as pain relief, inflammation reduction, and accelerated healing by promoting cell regeneration and increased blood flow, addressing both superficial and deeper tissue ailments.

Implementation Method 1

The laser light has a wavelength sufficient to cause absorption of at least some of the cannabidiol into the tissue

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectLight absorption: Absorption (EM radiation)

AI summary

A method for applying cannabidiol onto and into the skin is provided. The method includes applying cannabidiol onto skin and irradiating the skin and the cannabidiol with a laser light. The laser light has a wavelength ranging from 800 nm to 870 nm. The irradiating of the skin with the laser light results in at least some of the cannabidiol penetrating into the skin. The cannabidiol can be provided in a kit with a laser emitting tool.
