Abstract
A method of cosmetically treating a superficial area of mammalian skin by irradiating the skin with a source of divergent electromagnetic radiation of between 900 nm to 1500 nm, and use of electromagnetic radiation of specified wavelengths. The cosmetic treatment includes reducing or alleviating or removing or diminishing wrinkles or fine lines, rejuvenating skin, retarding or reversing visible signs of aging, improving skin elasticity, tone, texture and appearance and beautifying facial, breast, arm, buttock, thigh, stomach or neck skin.
Claims14
A method of cosmetically treating a superficial area of mammalian skin comprising irradiating the skin with a source of divergent electromagnetic radiation centered around 1072 nm,
- wherein the cosmetic treatment provides at least one effect selected from the group consisting of:
- (i) reducing, alleviating, removing or diminishing wrinkles or fine lines;
- (ii) reducing skin surface area;
- (iii) rejuvenating skin;
- (iv) retarding or reversing visible signs of aging;
- and
- (v) improving skin elasticity or elastic characteristics of skin, tone, texture and appearance,
- wherein the electromagnetic radiation has a bandwidth in a range of about 10 to 120 nm.
