Apparatus and methods for modifying keratinous surfaces
First Claim
1. An apparatus for modifying a keratinous surface comprising:
- a rotatable applicator which is in fluid communication with a first modification composition;
a sensor;
a CPU;
wherein the sensor is positioned forward of the applicator such that as the applicator rolls across the keratinous surface the sensor reads the portion of the keratinous surface in front of the rolling applicator, the readings are transmitted to the CPU, the CPU analyzes the sensor readings of the keratinous surface, the CPU sends a signal to the applicator head to treat or not to treat the analyzed surface, and wherein when the CPU sends a signal to the applicator to treat the surface, a small portion of the first modification composition is applied to the applicator such that when the applicator rolls over the keratinous surface the first modification composition contacts the area of the keratinous surface that needs treatment.

Abstract
An apparatus for modifying a keratinous surface that has a rotatable applicator that is in fluid communication with a first modification composition. The apparatus also has a sensor and a CPU. The sensor is positioned forward of the applicator head such that as the head rolls across the keratinous surface the sensor reads the portion of the keratinous surface in front of the rolling head. The sensor readings are transmitted to the CPU, the CPU analyzes the sensor readings of the keratinous surface, and the CPU sends a signal to the applicator head to treat or not to treat the analyzed surface. When the CPU sends a signal to the applicator to treat the surface, a small portion of the first modification composition is applied to the head such that when the head rolls over the keratinous surface the first modification composition contacts the area of the keratinous surface that needs treatment.

13. An apparatus for modifying a keratinous surface comprising:
-
a rotatable applicator which is in fluid communication with a first modification composition; a sensor; a CPU; wherein the sensor is positioned forward of the applicator such that as the applicator rolls across the keratinous surface the sensor reads the portion of the keratinous surface in front of the rolling applicator, the readings are transmitted to the CPU, the CPU analyzes the sensor readings of the keratinous surface, the CPU sends a signal to the an operator of the device, the operator then chooses to treat or not to treat the identified portion of the keratinous surface, when the operator chooses to treat the portion of the keratinous surface she activates the CPU to apply a small portion of the first modification composition to the applicator such that when the applicator rolls over the keratinous surface the first modification composition contacts the area of the keratinous surface that needs treatment. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. An apparatus for modifying a keratinous surface comprising:
-
A rotatable applicator which is in fluid communication with a first modification composition; a sensor; wherein the sensor is positioned forward of the applicator such that as the applicator rolls across the keratinous surface the sensor reads the portion of the keratinous surface in front of the rolling applicator, the readings are compared to a pre-determined baseline, any variation from the baseline is compared to a pre-determined threshold, if the threshold is exceeded the sensor sends a signal to the applicator to treat the analyzed surface, then a small portion of the first modification composition is applied to the applicator such that when the applicator rolls over the keratinous surface the first modification composition contacts the area of the keratinous surface that needs treatment.
