Abstract
A cosmetic treatment device includes a nitric oxide (NO) eluting polymer, a carrier, and a proton donor enclosed in a container that keeps the proton donor separate from the nitric oxide eluting polymer until the device is used. When the container is opened, proton donor contacts the polymer, causing the elution of nitric oxide from the polymer.
