Competitive Advantages

• Increases molecular delivery
• Moderate heating is used for the hair removal
• Temperature increases may increase­­ the effects of charge streams that are typically atmospheric plasmas

Summary

The use of a charge stream (plasma created in a gas or using air) and heat to treat skin in a manner that will result hair removal, reduced hair growth, or eliminate hair growth. Short-term heating of tissues/cells has been shown to increase molecular delivery resulting from traditional electrical treatment of cells with DC pulses in tissues and when corona charge has been applied to cells. It is likely that temperature increases may increases the effects of charge streams that are typically atmospheric plasmas (coronal charge) or plasmas.  Moderate heating may have benefit to treating tissues with plasma/corona for the removal of hair as it may increase the capacity of the charge stream to have detrimental effects on the hair shaft or follicle.  The art teaches away from heating living cells as it can cause negative effects on skin/tissues.
