Abstract
A device for stimulating hair growth applied to a user's scalp. The device includes a housing. A plurality of light emitting diodes coupled to the housing operable to emit non-coherent light, the non-coherent light having at least two intensity peaks. A plurality of pairs of teeth extending from the housing, wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes are disposed between each pair of teeth; and wherein each of the plurality of pairs of teeth parts the user's hair to expose the scalp.
Claims16
A device for stimulating hair growth applied to a user's scalp, comprising:
- a housing defining a major axis;
- a plurality of light emitting diodes coupled to the housing operable to emit non-coherent light, the non-coherent light having at least two intensity peaks, wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes emits red, green, and blue light;
- a plurality of pairs of teeth extending from the housing, wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes are disposed between each pair of teeth, each of the plurality of pairs of teeth parts the user's hair to expose the scalp, each of the plurality of light emitting diodes and at least two of the plurality teeth define a longitudinal axis substantially orthogonal to the major axis.
A method of stimulating hair growth on a user's scalp, comprising:
- exposing the scalp using a hand-held device, the hand-held device has a plurality of pairs of vibrating teeth operable to part hair;
- emitting non-coherent light having at least two intensity peaks onto the scalp;
- applying a photoactive cream to the scalp;
- and
- heating the scalp using the hand-held device.
A device for stimulating hair growth applied to a user's scalp, comprising:
- a housing;
- a plurality of white light emitting diodes coupled the housing emitting white light including at least one intensity peak having a wavelength between approximately 900 nm and 1200 nm;
- a plurality of pairs of teeth extending from the housing, wherein the plurality of white light emitting diodes are disposed between each pair of teeth, each of the plurality of pairs of teeth parts the user's hair to expose the scalp;
- and
- a photoactive cream disposed within the housing, the photoactive cream being dispersible to the scalp.
