## Abstract

A cosmetic treatment method, and a device therefor, are provided that allow for cosmetic treatment of cosmetic disorders, caused by chronological age, environmental factors, changes in physiological functions of skin, such as psoriasis, dermatitis, acne, cellulites, and viral and/or bacteriological attacks. The device comprises a nitric oxide (NO) eluting polymer arranged to contact the area to be cosmetically treated, such that a cosmetic dose of nitric oxide is eluted from said area. The nitric oxide (NO) eluting polymer is integrated with a carrier material, such that said carrier material, in use, regulates and controls the elution of said cosmetic dosage of nitric oxide (NO). Furthermore, a manufacturing method for said device is provided.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device configured to cosmetically treat and/or prevent cosmetic disorders, including wrinkles, cellulites, psoriasis, dermatitis, and viral and/or bacteriological attacks, such as herpes, caposis sarcoma, warts, and/or mollusks, at a cosmetic treatment site of a body, wherein said device comprises a nitric oxide (NO) eluting polymer configured to elute a cosmetic dosage of nitric oxide (NO) when used for said treatment and/or prevention, and wherein said device is configured to expose said cosmetic target site in or on a body to said nitric oxide (NO) when said polymer in use elutes nitric oxide (NO),
characterized in that
said nitric oxide (NO) eluting polymer is integrated with a carrier material, such that said carrier material, in use, regulates and controls the elution of said cosmetic dosage of nitric oxide (NO).
