Patent attributes
Apparatus for skin treatment using abrasion lotion with particulate includes an appliance and an applicator. The appliance includes a motor for actuating the applicator by rotating or oscillating. The applicator includes a surface made from a substantially unresilient or inabsorbent material for impressing and urging the particulate upon the skin. In operation, the abrasion lotion is applied either on the surface of the applicator or directly to the skin, the surface placed against skin, and the motor activated. When in motion, the surface impresses particulate of the lotion upon the skin and urges the impressed particulate across the skin abrading and exfoliating it. The surface may include a field and a plurality of bosses disposed on it with channels between adjacent bosses, or a relief field. When the applicator is in motion, the bosses urge and push the abrasion lotion, and the relief field vectors particulate upon the skin.
