Abstract
Applicator (1) and capsule (17) for such applicator. A capsule (17) for distributing, on a surface of a living body, a product containing an active component or forming a cosmetic product, the capsule having a product distribution zone and comprising: •—in a body, a supply of product which is in communication with the product distribution zone, and •—first linking means (150, 511a, 511b) for removably securing the capsule to second linking means of a housing (15) in which is disposed a light source (9).
Claims34
A method for applying product and light to a surface for non-medical treatment of said surface, wherein a capsule comprising a reservoir containing a product is releasably coupled to a housing comprising at least a light source and a control unit, wherein the capsule comprises a movable element such as a ball onto which product from the reservoir can be fed for dispensing it to a surface by the ball, wherein light is transmitted from the light source through the capsule to the surface prior to, during and/or after dispensing said product onto said surface, whereafter the capsule is removed from the housing and replaced by another capsule.
A device for distributing, on a surface of a living body, a product containing an active component for forming a cosmetic product, and the release/discharge, at least as far as this surface, of energy in the form of a light wave, the device comprising:
- a distribution zone of product on said surface;
- and
- at least one light source emitting at least one light ray towards the surface,
- wherein the device comprises a housing and a capsule releasably coupled to the housing,
- wherein the capsule comprises a reservoir containing the product and a movable element forming at least part of the distribution zone,
- wherein the reservoir has at least one moveable and/or deformable wall, such as a piston, such that a volume of the reservoir can be reduced for dispensing the product, by moving and/or deforming said at least one wall, and
- wherein the housing comprises the at least one light source.
A capsule for distributing, on a surface of a living body, a product containing an active component or forming a cosmetic product, the capsule having a product distribution zone and comprising:
- in a body, a reservoir comprising a supply of product which is in communication with the product distribution zone, and
- first linking means for removably securing the capsule to second linking means of a housing in which is disposed a light source,
- the capsule comprising a movable element in the form of a ball, forming at least part of the distribution zone;
- and
- wherein the reservoir has at least one moveable and/or deformable wall in the form of a piston, such that the volume of the reservoir can be reduced for dispensing the product, by moving and/or deforming said at least one wall.
