Abstract

Arrangements and packaging of multi-device, face-and-body-treatment systems are presented, for adapting these systems to self-application and to home use. In particular, a multi-device, face-and-body-treatment laptop-like kit is described, for beauty treatment “on the go.” Additionally, a multi-device, face-and-body-treatment system built into a dresser is taught, for beauty treatment in the home. Other arrangements are also described.

Claims

1. A treatment system, comprising:

a treatment device, which comprises;

a spout, which defines an inner chamber, and which is in communication with a vacuum source, for gliding along a portion of a body and applying suction-macro-massage treatment thereto; and

at least one feature, integrated with said spout, for applying at least one additional mode of treatment, different from said suction-macro-massage treatment; and

a power-and-control console, which comprises;

a controller, for automatically controlling the application of said suction-macro-massage treatment and said at least one additional mode of treatment, so as to selectively apply said suction-macro-massage treatment and said at least one additional mode of treatment simultaneously, and selectively apply said suction-macro-massage treatment and said at least one additional mode of treatment in sequence, in accordance with a predetermined schedule and predetermined restrictions; and

a control panel, for communicating with said controller.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said spout is adapted for applying at least two additional modes of treatment, for a total of at least three different modes of treatment, each of said at least two additional modes of treatment being selected from the group consisting of warming light treatment, UV light treatment, LLLT, ultrasound treatment, pulsating magnetic field treatment, constant magnetic field treatment, electrostimulation treatment, cooling-diode treatment, warming-diode treatment, cooling-warming-diode treatment, photoepilation, and mechanical epilation, wherein said controller automatically controls the application of said suction-macro-massage treatment and said at least two modes of treatment, so as to selectively apply the at least three modes of treatment simultaneously, selectively apply the at least three modes of treatment in sequence, and selectively apply some modes of treatment simultaneously and some modes of treatment in sequence, in accordance with a predetermined schedule and predetermined restrictions.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one treatment device is adapted for interchangeably receiving different spouts.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein said at least one treatment device is adapted for interchangeably receiving an electric hair setter.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein said at least one treatment device is adapted for interchangeably receiving a rotating-hair-brush.

6. The system of claim 3, wherein said at least one treatment device is adapted for interchangeably receiving a sandblasting peeler.

7. The system of claim 3, wherein said at least one treatment device is adapted for interchangeably receiving a face-and-body-cleaner-moisturizer-and-massager.

8. The system of claim 3, wherein said at least one treatment device is adapted for interchangeably receiving a lymphatic massager.

9. The system of claim 3, wherein said at least one treatment device is adapted for interchangeably receiving an air-brush makeup applicator.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein said device includes a handle, detachably connected to said spout.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein said device is detachably connected to said power-and-control console.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein said at least one treatment device comprises a plurality of treatment devices, of different shapes and features.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein said plurality of treatment devices are detachable and interchangeable.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein said vacuum source is a central vacuum line.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein said vacuum source is a pulsating vacuum source.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein said vacuum source is in signal communication with said controller and said vacuum source is adapted to pulsate at different frequencies, as controlled by said controller and as selected via said control panel.

17. The system of claim 1, arranged within a case, as a portable, laptop-like, face-and-body-treatment system, wherein:

said controller is built into said case;

a display panel is built in to said case;

a mirror is incorporated with said case; and

said at least one treatment device is stored within an inner compartment of said case.

18. The system of claim 17, and further including a power source.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein said at least one treatment device comprises at least two treatment devices, stored within an inner space of said laptop.

20. The system of claim 17, and further including a carrying trunk, additional to said portable, laptop-like, face-and-body-treatment system, wherein a pump, operative as said vacuum source, is arranged within said carrying trunk.

21. A portable, laptop-like, face-and-body-treatment system, comprising:

a case, having an inner compartment and a lid;

a treatment device, adapted for being stored within said inner compartment, and adapted for communication with a vacuum source, said treatment device comprising;

a spout, for gliding along a portion of a body and applying suction-macro-massage treatment thereto; and

at least one feature, integrated with said spout, for applying at least one additional mode of treatment, different from said suction-macro-massage treatment; and

a power-and-control console, which comprises;

a controller, built into said case, for automatically controlling the application of said suction-macro-massage treatment and said at least one additional mode of treatment, so as to selectively apply said suction-macro-massage treatment and said at least one additional mode of treatment simultaneously, and selectively apply said suction-macro-massage treatment and said at least one additional mode of treatment in sequence, in accordance with a predetermined schedule and predetermined restrictions;

a control panel, built into said case, for communicating with said controller; and

a display panel, built into said case; and

a mirror, incorporated with said case.
