Abstract

Disclosed is a therapeutic lamp platform inductive mask and charger. According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, provided is a phototherapy system comprising a phototherapy device including a plurality of radiant lamps disposed to communicate radiant energy to a user treatment area, a rechargeable power source, and a controller operatively associated with controlling a delivery of the radiant energy to the user treatment area, wherein the plurality of radiant lamps, the rechargeable power source and controller are housed by a mask shaped therapeutic lamp platform wherein the phototherapy device is configured to inductively charge the rechargeable battery; and an inductive charger configured to charge the phototherapy device rechargeable battery.

Claims

1. A phototherapy device comprising:

a wearable therapeutic lamp platform including a plurality of radiant lamps emitting radiant energy at two or more wavelengths and a reflective wall including an external reflective surface directed towards a user treatment area, the external reflective surface including a plurality of radiant energy communication areas aligned with the plurality of radiant lamps and disposed to communicate the radiant energy to the user treatment area, each of the plurality of radiant energy communication areas aligned with a single respective radiant lamp and wherein the reflective wall is further formed to disperse over the user treatment area radiant energy reflected from the user treatment area back to the user treatment area; and

a frame adapted to support the therapeutic lamp platform on the user and adapted to position the therapeutic lamp platform on the user, the frame positioning the reflective wall towards the first and second user treatment areas and spacing the reflective wall from the first and second user treatment areas, the reflective wall covering a complete nose of the user and the reflective wall spaced from the complete nose of the user to provide ventilation and clearance between the reflective wall and the complete nose of the user; and

wherein the therapeutic lamp platform includes an inductively chargeable power source operatively connected to the plurality of radiant lamps and configured to receive an inductive charge from an operatively associated inductive charger.

2. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the wearable therapeutic lamp platform is configured to provide radiant energy for one or both of acne treatment and anti-aging treatment.

3. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the wearable therapeutic lamp platform includes an integrated controller configured to drive the plurality of radiant lamps, and the plurality of radiant lamps includes a mixed combination of different wavelength radiant energy.

4. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the wearable therapeutic lamp platform includes a user control switch.

5. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the inductive charger includes a docking area configured to physically support the therapeutic lamp platform while the inductively chargeable power source is being charged by the inductive charger.

6. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the wearable therapeutic lamp platform includes a charging port operatively connected to the inductively chargeable power source.

7. The phototherapy device according to claim 1, wherein the wearable therapeutic lamp platform is mask shaped.
