Definitions
- Cleansing, sanitizing and treating the skin is a common part of many people’s daily routines.
- Many different types of skin creams, lotions, soaps and medications are applied to the skin in order to treat or prevent aging, affect wrinkles, reduce discoloration, pigmentation and age spots and eliminate medical skin conditions such as acne and sanitize or cleanse the skin from contaminants, viruses and bacteria.
- Skin care and hair care can also include treatment of the human scalp.
- nails are often treated with creams, lotions and decorated with paints and other soluble ingredients.
- Light of different frequencies are emitted from a light source on the skin which can support production of collagen, increase blood flow, kill viruses and bacteria and reduce inflammation. These light frequencies include but are not limited to ultraviolet light, near infrared light, infrared light and blue light. Phototherapy can also be used outside of the field of skin care to provide cleaning and sanitization benefits.
- Hot and cold materials placed on the skin have also been demonstrated to have medical, cosmetic and therapeutic benefits.
- vibration from an electric source and sonic waves from an electrical device have been demonstrated to have medical, cosmetic and therapeutic benefits.
