First Claim
Patent Images
1. A tablet for cosmetically treating skin tissue comprising:
- the tablet comprising at least a first active material and at least a second active material, one of the active materials including a base material and the other of the active materials including an acid material, said first and said second active materials being in solid form, the tablet having two opposed faces, an outer, exposed face and an inner-facing face;
the tablet further comprising a mounting base, the mounting base being formed about the periphery of the tablet;
the mounting base further comprising a connector for attaching the tablet to a handpiece;
the base material of the tablet substantially comprising sodium bicarbonate and the acid material substantially comprising citric acid;
the proportion of the base material to the acid material being 3;
1;
wherein, upon activation by an activating material, the activating material being in a non-solid form, carbon dioxide is produced by the reaction of the acid material and the base material;
further comprising a handpiece, the tablet being connectable at an opening of the handpiece at the inner-facing face ad around the periphery of the outer face of the tablet;
the handpiece enclosing a volume to contain the activating material;
the handpiece opening providing access to the volume;
wherein the activating material contacts the outer, exposed face of the tablet and produces carbon dioxide;
wherein the carbon dioxide creates an effervescent effect within the tablet;
wherein at least some of the effervescent effect takes place on the outer, exposed face of said tablet; and
,wherein the first active material contains granules for engaging and treating the skin tissue.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for providing cosmetic treatment to skin comprise one material chemically active in a solid form preferably in a tablet form and a second material which is chemically reactive with the first material so that effervescence is produced during the reaction. The chemically active materials may be activated by a user for providing cosmetic treatment to skin. The activation releases effervescence which urges granules of the reacting materials onto the skin. The size of the granules lowers during the reaction thus providing continuously refining peeling to the skin.
